instagram post scraper script

Yea my tool does pretty much all that and it's all on the web so you don't have to download some code repository and research for hours how to download the right stuff and get it up and running. Certainly an option to look into for some people though
 
Well i can download 250 post with it easily and for free

I mean it is useful

But off-course web is easier

Yea but note the repository you posted doesn't change the hash of each post when you download. Be careful not to repost those directly.
 
You mean the name of the media files?

+1 for Vurku

You mean the name of the media files?
No, it's a code attached to the image and even if you change the name, the IG will know that it's the same picture used in another account which will trigger "infringement etc etc etc" Vurku does change the hash automatically and I think there's another tool around this forum for changing hash manager but you need to search it yourself.
 
This source code is a good headstart for someone who interested build his own app, anyways for scraping posts without start mess with codes you can use Vurku. very easy to use

Nope. Each image has a unique hash. A hash is something Instagram checks to see if your post has already been posted. So Instagram can easily just check if your uploaded image or video has already been uploaded by saying, "does this image hash match any other image hash in our system?". Changing the hash makes it very difficult for Instagram to detect that you're reposting. This is something Instagram has been enforcing and penalizing more recently so it's even more important now to change the hash of each post you reupload than it has been in the past.

Good point. Anyway just create pul request to ask this dude to update it )

But again off-course web services is easier to use

Well i just did some test with downloading same Photos with Vurku and this package , and output is Exactly the same , with the same i mean Binary data from Vurku for the same Image is Identical to Binary output from this repo. So please stop telling about some kinda hash and etc. But as i told before web versions is easier to use.
This repo is a good start to build your own service for scraping
 
Sure, go ahead, do it as you want!
Not sure what you mean. Anyway the point is that output file is similar to vurku output

And vurku is really nice service by the way !!
