    var session = new Client.Session(device, cookiePath);
    // Or if we cant, create a new session
    var promise = Client.Session.create(device, cookiePath, 'username', 'password');

        Client.Account.searchForUser(session, user)
         .then(function(accountInstance) {
            var userId = accountInstance.id;

Error: read ECONNRESET

Hello!
All was working fine, but 3-4 days ago I started to get this error while trying to make any request from your package in random order.
The same request can work normally or may generate this error at different times.
After 3 days of debugging I still have no idea what is the reason and how to resolve this.
So I want to ask if only I get this trouble or there is a common problem and is there any solution for that?
I will be glad to any advice.

(STDERR) Unhandled rejection RequestError: Error: read ECONNRESET

Unhandled rejection CookieNotValidError

I am using a newly created Instagram account I created for testing and I am receiving the following message:
Unhandled rejection CookieNotValidError: Cookiesessionidyou are searching found was either not found or not valid!

However, I was able to gain a session with an older Instagram account over two years old. When I remove theusername.json file from the cookies directory and try to gain a new session with the older account, I receive the same message Unhandled rejection CookieNotValidError: Cookiesessionidyou are searching found was either not found or not valid!

Any clues to the cause? Looking forward to working with this library. Thanks!

Hope to know if I can create session by using access_token

Hi Huttarichard,

Thank you for your nice work.

I have lots of interest about your project and hope to know if I can get or create new session by using access_token, not using username and password.

I checked sessions.js and know that you are using username/password for instagram login.

But because I already use oauth stream to login instagram, what I have now is just access_token.

So, I hope to know if I can create session by using access_token when I already logged in.

Regards Sincerely

issue/exceptions thrown when creating accounts

I was successfully able to create an account, however I always get the following exceptions although the account was created:

Unhandled rejection Error: Argument session is not instace of Session

var device = new Client.Device(username);
var storage = new Client.CookieFileStorage(__dirname + '/cookies/' + username + '.json');
var session = new Client.Session(device, storage);
//session.proxyUrl = 'http://aditya:[email protected]';

new Client.AccountEmailCreator(session)
    .setEmail( username + '@gmail.com')
    .setUsername(username)
    .setPassword('kerencuyy')
    .setName('Pusing Mikirin Insta')
    .register()
    .then(function(session) {

    });

why is this? seemed that the exception is on thrown on this line in resource.js:

 var Session = require("./session");
    if (!(session instanceof Session))
        throw new Error("Argument `session` is not instace of Session");
    this._session = session;

get ranked items in location media

hey, I would like to grab ranked items in location media. However, it is not possible to do that because the code just return data.items

check the code here https://github.com/huttarichard/instagram-private-api/blob/master/client/v1/feeds/location-media.js#L30

Currently, I have 2 ideas below

• pass a boolean into get. e.g locationFeed.get({ ranked: true })
• another method called getRankedItems for this class

I would like to make another PR later.
Thus. which way is more appropriate to you?
Or do you have other brilliant suggestions that I can help?

Thanks
