ErrorError in Instagram scraping.

Describe the bug

I tried to scrape 5 items from Instagram through the hashtag and the following error occurred.

How to reproduce

import snscrape.modules.instagram as sns

itens = sns.InstagramHashtagScraper('python').get_items()

for item in itens:
print(item)

It was expected that the items from the generator would be printed.
