Hi, the older API used to work fine but this newer API does not return any data, it always return an empty array. Please tell me what I am doing wrong or if there is an issue, then please fix this.

API Used: [api.](https://api./) bhawanigarg. com/social/instagram/?link= instagram. com/p/Cmp46ZqrFvF/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Method Used: GET

Response: { "success": true, "data\_type": 2, "data": \[\], "developer": { "author": "Bhawani Garg", "organization": "BhawaniGarg", "website": "[bhawanigarg.](https://bhawanigarg./) com", "How-To-Use-This-API": "[blog.](https://blog./) bhawanigarg. com/instagram-downloader-api-v2" } }

PS: The Spaces in the URLs is added intensionally, as I am new here and the system wont let me submit a comment that includes any links.

Hi the old api used to work without cookie but this api needs an instagram account cookie to work. You aren't passing an instagram account cookie.

The old api was going down too much so this API won't go down until your cookie is fine.

[Bhawani Garg](https://hashnode.com/@BhawaniGargBlog) Any possibility to use it without having an Instagram Cookie?
