Are there any working tools to rip an entire Instagram account?
I don't have an account myself, and the photos and videos I'm trying to download en masse belong to a famous person's public account. Is there anything I can use to do it (as long as it's not creating an account lol), preferably proxied tools as apparently I get blocked while behind a VPN?
It is creeping. If your neighbor goes outside in public and you stare at her from your window blinds, with the lights out just so you can see her ankles twice a day. Yes, she is in public and you are only looking, but the obsession is not normal behavior.
Not sure if this would help in your case but I once was ripping images from a... Homework site.... and after recognizing all of the media files were named as _001, _002..., I created an if loop and used wget to mass download. Maybe Instagram does this for raw image links?
Seriously be super careful doing that on... Homework... Sites, as they can and often do contain illegal imagery that the moderation teams might have missed.
I appreciate the thought. In this case, it was all around a particular model and I had already seen all of the images. It was just a faster method to write the code and execute (plus it gave me the chance to scream ULTIMATE POWER!!! as it ran) than individually downloading each image.
