Easy interactions with the Instagram Graph API. For Business and Creator Accounts.
A friend of mine needed help extracting data from his Instagram account. He mainly wanted to get the comments from a post into an Excel file. I thought, why not make a CLI app for this? It could be useful for him and others needing to do the same thing. So, here's what I ended up creating.

You can download the latest version in the releases page for your operating system. In alternative, you can clone this repository and build the project yourself and then install it globally (advanced/developer users).
In the downloaded zip folder you will find the executable file and a config file gramoco.config.json. In the config file you will need to fill in the following properties: INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN and INSTAGRAM_ACCOUNT_ID. You can find the instructions to get these values in the SETUP.md file.
