Instagram access blocks

Hello,

I haven't found any thread about this, but I certainly don't think it just happened to me.
Instagram blocked access to all accounts if you tried to load them from almost anything other than Instagram.

I just tried several retailers. I couldn't send any likes because they couldn't even load the account to select which post should they send likes to. I tried several accounts. I tried Instagram's own account. It was the same. Previous post images couldn't even load.

I checked websites that calculate your engagement. They couldn't load the account.
They all acted as if the account didn't exist. I tried instagram, therock, and several accounts I know still exist. Nothing.

As I'm writing this, some are starting to work again, but others are still not responsive.
I'm sending some pics.

Anyone else noticed/is noticing this?

It happened on one site for me but other sites have been working.

There was a moment (5-10 minutes, at least) where all sites I checked were not working. Now, most of them are working, but there are still some who can't access.
I mean, has this happened before? Or is this a new way Instagram will make life tougher?

There were probably some issues, they wouldn't just add blockages like this, it would ruin so many apps and such, plus they all use the instagram api and unless instagram are going to stop support for the api I don't think that they're going to implement this
