Hello,

Instagram posts scraping using a username is not currently possible.

An Instagram username ID is needed instead.

I came across this issue and you can find an Instagram username id using this tool:
https://codeofaninja.com/tools/find-instagram-user-id/

If you're using the Gatsbyjs Instagram the id is **8385666633**
{ resolve: 'gatsby-source-instagram', options: { username: '8385666633', },
