Package: instaloader
Version: 4.12.1+ds-1
Severity: normal

Attempts to download photos from IG fail with "Fetching Post metadata failed.".

A similar problem with downloading videos using yt-dlp was solved
using its --cookies-from-browser option, so I think that will solve
this issue too, but it's too difficult for me install a 3rd party
Python library on my system to check.
