How to Automatically Download Pictures from Instagram
2016-09-22 19:02:26 +02:00
-----------------------------------------------------
To **download all pictures and videos of a profile**, as well as the
**profile picture**, do
::
instaloader profile [profile ...]
where ``profile`` is the name of a profile you want to download. Instead
of only one profile, you may also specify a list of profiles.
2017-04-22 12:11:56 +02:00
To later **update your local copy** of that profiles, you may run
::
instaloader --fast-update profile [profile ...]
2017-08-24 17:23:46 +02:00
If ``--fast-update`` is given, Instaloader stops when arriving at the
2017-08-24 17:10:32 +02:00
first already-downloaded picture. When updating profiles, Instaloader
2017-09-08 10:35:38 +02:00
automatically **detects profile name changes** and renames the target directory
accordingly.
Instaloader can also be used to **download private profiles**. To do so,
invoke it with
::
instaloader --login=your_username profile [profile ...]
2017-09-08 10:35:38 +02:00
When logging in, Instaloader **stores the session cookies** in a file in your
temporary directory, which will be reused later the next time ``--login``
is given. So you can download private profiles **non-interactively** when you
already have a valid session cookie file.
