Instagram user's photos and videos downloader. Download all media files from any public username.
The modified version is still under development
Create a color coded menu & banner & have progress printed to the screen. Offer the ability to download more than just one Instagrammer at a time. ?? Import the threading module & create def queueRequests() etc..?? ?? Or use asyncio or other concurrency? Caveat: This will conflict with Instagram's API and result in being temporaraly blocked. (bypass using proxiess/API calls? like in the sms flooders??) Implement a metadata exfiltration tool within the script.
Integrate this or another Instagram scraper into a larger OSINT Framework. Scrape a target's entire social media presence and then some..such as FB, IG, Twitter, personal websites and more, etc.. Could be used inconjuction with Spiderfoot to create an even more comprehensive dossier.
Script does not requires a token or username/pass to use Instagram API, Having said that, this can cause some daily limits.
- Script has been tested in single execution and downloads around 2200 images/videos.
- Instagram API limits daily queries, so if script reachs limit, I recommend you to execute script again in 12 hours so that daily limit is expired.
- I have added a resume mode so that you can execute again script and it will continue from last image downladed.
- Requires: Python v3
./ig_downloader_modified.py -u targetusername
