I have always wanted a way to download all my images from instagram gallery to share/show it to others.
For some reason, Instagram has never allowed you to download images, even if you are the owner. Yes, there's a feature that the image is downloaded when you upload, but what if you are on a different device ? What if you never turned on the feature ?
There's no way to bulk download your images.
Presenting Instagram Gallery Downloader! This is a bot/script to download all your instagram gallery pictures in a single folder. Simple as that. No strings attached.
First off, you need to login to instagram and head over to www.instagram.com/developer
-
Read simple instructions here -> http://www.slickremix.com/docs/how-to-create-instagram-access-token/ In addition to that, click on "Edit" after you've saved a client. Goto security, and untick "Disable implicit OAuth". We are doing that because we are going to implicitly call the APIs (without providing password everytime)

Watch the 2 min video, if step#1 is not clear -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkuJtIcXR68
-
Save the access token in config.txt file as:-
access_token=newly generated token
for ex: access_token=575199251.7in678i.g23atb436f6ba0fs8gi587f6a4esdcg3
We need this access token to make requests to instagram.
-
And that's it, download the executable instaScrape_Sandbox.exe.
-
Place config.txt in the same folder as executable
-
Double click the .exe file, sit back, grab a beer, and let the script do its work.
All images of your feed will be present in Gallery folder created in the same directory. Enjoy! :)
