Open Inspector in Chrome, visit Instagram and scroll through the posts, you'll see the same GraphQL queries with query_hash.
I'm not sure what query_hash value means exactly, but they're static for each type of query it seems.

Ohhh, I see, it's a constant number(every time drop-down the perfil), but for me it's a diferent number, not 'e769aa130647d2354c40ea6a439bfc08', by the way, thank you so much, I am beginner on Scrapy, and do you sugguest any book or tutorial to learn advanced project based on Scrapy, I already bought this book .

They may have changed something, but the old value still works too, it seems.
I'm not a specialist in Scrapy, but generally, I'd read official docs (docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/) and then start doing some projects using it and learn from them.
