Answer 1

This error message...

{u'source': u'network', u'message': u'https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/ajax/ - Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()', u'timestamp': 1546536937734, u'level': u'SEVERE'}

...implies that the WebDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new WebBrowsing Session as it failed to load the required resources through AJAX calls.

As per the HTML DOM of the Instagram - Log in page it is pretty clear the DOM Tree contains AJAX and JavaScript enabled elements.

So while you invoke get() method before interacting with the elements on the particular you need to induce WebDriverWait for the desired elements to be clickable which will ensure that:

• The associated JavaScript and AJAX Calls have completed
• The desired elements are enabled and visible to recognize click events propogated through Selenium.
