* 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.
Further, document all attributes that are referred to, and ensure that there
will be no broken references again by letting Travis call Sphinx with -W -n.
Since the property has_highlight_reel is no longer available throught
the previously used graphql query, this information needs to be obtained
in another way. Therefore the properties has_highlight_reels,
has_public_story and has_viewable_story were added to the Profile class.
Since has_public_story can be obtained throught graphql queries without
being rate limited when invoked anonymously, the ability to use an
anonymous copy of the context was added to to the InstaloaderContext class.
Fixes #116
Increment graphql_count_per_slidingwindow to 25; Let context._sleep() choose
sleep times from upper-bounded exponential distribution with similar expected
value as before, letting wait times between queries seem more natural.
