Login to instagram using python

Question

I am trying to login to instagram.Here is my code

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from requests import *
payload = {
    'action': 'login',
    'username': 'name',
    'password': 'pass'
}

with session() as c:
    c.post('https://www.instagram.com/login.php', data=payload)
    response = c.get('https://www.instagram.com/accounts/edit/')
    print(response.headers)
    print(response.text)

unfortunately it doesn't seem to log me in. I get:

lt-ie8 lt-ie7 not-logged-in client-root

Any solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

you can get idea to implement this from here

Logging to Instagram using Python requests

my code for login to instagram

import pdb
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/')
dom = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*')

pdb.set_trace()
username = dom.find_element_by_name('username')
password = dom.find_element_by_name('password')
login_button = dom.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@class="_qv64e _gexxb _4tgw8 _njrw0"]')

username.clear()
password.clear()
username.send_keys('your username')
password.send_keys('your password')

login_button.click()
driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login')

if 'logged-in' in driver.page_source:
    print 'Logged in'
