* Allow reading arguments from file
function referenced from instagram-scraper,
which provide a convenient way to hide sensitive information.
Fixes #165.
To download (S = Stories, P = Profile Pic, p = Posts)
p --no-profile-pic
P --profile-pic-only
Pp (default)
S --no-profile-pic --stories-only
Sp --no-profile-pic --stories
SP --stories-only
SPp --stories
This reverts commit 8423e3bd00. The channel did
not have as much activity as expected and an IRC channel does not work if there
are not at least a few people in it.
It seems there is a limit of how many user stories can be requested at once.
Now, Instaloader.get_stories() chunks the stories request.
Fixes #157 and fixes #134.
Override get_value() rather than get_field(), to allow chaining of item
attributes, such as --post-metadata-txt={owner_profile.profile_pic_url}.
Motivated by #151.
If using --stories or --stories-only the stories got donwloaded along
with the profiles one by one. Now, the stories get downloaded in a
similar aproach like when using the :stories target, i.e.
download_stories() gets only called once.
Profile.has_highlight_reels is broken and now always returns true.
This fixes #153.
The Post._asdict() code assumed that Post._node always is a subset of
Post._full_metadata_dict. However, it turned out, that `edge_liked_by`,
`thumbnail_src` and `thumbnail_resources` may be contained in Post._node, but
not in Post._full_metadata_dict. Now the keys of both dictionaries are saved in
the JSON file.
Fixes #137.
Presents code examples that use the instaloader module for more advanced tasks
than what is possible with the Instaloader command line interface.
Presents #46, #56, #110, #113, #120, #121.
Profile.get_profile_pic_url() and Profile.has_highlight_reels did the same
query without remembering the response, resulting in that query being made
twice when downloading stories and profile pic of a profile.
