Instagram changed the API

[jirakst]

My code:

from instagram_private_api import Client, ClientCompatPatch
import config

# Create an instance of the API client
api = Client(config.USERNAME, config.PASSWORD)

# Retrieve your own user details
user_self = api.current_user()
print("Your own user details:")
print(ClientCompatPatch.user(user_self))

# Retrieve details of another user by username
target_username = 'nomadic_programmer'
user_id = api.username_info(target_username)['user']['pk']
user_info = api.user_info(user_id)
print(f"\nUser details of {target_username}:")
print(ClientCompatPatch.user(user_info))

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Stan/Documents/Projects/1Eleven/private_insta.py", line 8, in <module>
    user_self = api.current_user()
  File "/Users/Stan/Documents/Projects/1Eleven/1Eleven/lib/python3.9/site-packages/instagram_private_api/endpoints/accounts.py", line 79, in current_user
    res = self._call_api('accounts/current_user/', params=params, query={'edit': 'true'})

instagram_private_api.errors.ClientError: Method Not Allowed

I encountered a very similar error when using 'instagrapi' library as well.
I don't have any other reasonable explanation than that in the Discussion title.
