It seems that this is now impossible without signing in

Oh wow that was so fast! Thanks so much for adding this in!

I will try this new feature out this weekend and see how it goes. 😄

It would be simple to add. But with the exception of the account you linked, can you see tagged posts without being signed in? I wasn't aware of any account where that was the case.

Hey @ScriptSmith! From my testing this does seem to work with any Instagram account. Here are a few more examples I found:

https://www.instagram.com/nintendo/tagged/?hl=en
https://www.instagram.com/ubisoft/tagged/?hl=en
https://www.instagram.com/pokemon/tagged/?hl=en

What I have discovered is that if you browse Instagram and click the "Tagged" button it prompts you to login, but if you access the link directly then it works without being logged in.

So in theory https://www.instagram.com/${username}/tagged/?hl=en should work for any account.

Ah, cool! Thanks for letting me know, I probably wouldn't have figured that out.

I'll try get it into Instamancer over the weekend

Seems to work as expected. It just has some different post structures that will need to be added to the validator.

You can clone the repo and use instamancer tagged [id] if you want to try it out.

Thanks for the heads up @ScriptSmith!

It looks like Instagram are really cracking down on scraping. 😢
