INSTAGRAM DOWNLOADER

Use it to download images of a user.

How to use it

To get started with little to no configuration, run the script like this

  $ python downloader.py username

replace username with the persons username/handle. Script will assume you want to download all the images of the following user.

Alternatively to fine tune what you want to download use the following command

  $ python downloader.py [username] [--save-only] [[all] [recent]]
  • username all - will download all the images
  • username recent - will download only recent images
  • username --save-only [...] - will only save and not download images

To change default settings open settings.conf and choose as you like.

TODO

  1. Improve downloading module. Multithreading can be used.
  2. Save the urls to a file to batch download with likes of IDM
  3. Let people download tags
  4. Do something about captions too
