Cant login Through Session Id

[Anas099X]

Hello I made this code that fetches session id from Instagram basic api and use it to login through instagrapi but it doesnt seem to work.

import requests
import json
from instagrapi import Client

# Instagram API credentials
CLIENT_ID = 'num'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'num'
REDIRECT_URI = 'https://socialsizzle.heroku.com/auth/'
ACCESS_TOKEN = 'num'


# Endpoint URLs
API_URL = 'https://graph.instagram.com/'

# Define session object
session = requests.Session()

# Build URL for generating long-lived access token
params = {
    'grant_type': 'ig_exchange_token',
    'client_id': CLIENT_ID,
    'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET,
    'access_token': ACCESS_TOKEN
}
url = API_URL + 'access_token?' + '&'.join([f'{k}={v}' for k, v in params.items()])

# Fetch long-lived access token
response = session.get(url)



# Build URL for generating session ID
params = {
    'access_token': ACCESS_TOKEN
}
url = API_URL + 'me?' + '&'.join([f'{k}={v}' for k, v in params.items()])

# Fetch user ID
response = session.get(url)

# Check if user ID was successfully retrieved
if response.status_code == 200:
    user_id = json.loads(response.text)['id']
    print(f'Successfully retrieved user ID: {user_id}')
else:
    print('Error retrieving user ID')

# Build URL for generating session ID
params = {
    'access_token': ACCESS_TOKEN,
    'instagram_graph_user_id': user_id,
    'method': 'post'
}
url = API_URL + 'access_token?' + '&'.join([f'{k}={v}' for k, v in params.items()])

# Fetch session ID
response = session.post(url)

# Check if session ID was successfully retrieved
if response.status_code == 200:
    session_id = json.loads(response.text)['access_token']
    client = Client()
    client.login_by_sessionid(session_id)

else:
    print('Error retrieving session ID')

and when running the code I got this error Error retrieving session ID

wait, did u get the sessionid using instagram basic api?(because that what im trying to do). also, is there a way i can make users login through a link?

i demonstrated that login via instagrapi (by sessionid) works well, it looks like you have a problem finding cookies, debug your code and you will find the reason

And I suspect that access_token is not a sessionid
