This is related to bug #69. Filenames containing the old date encoding without UTC are now recognized when using the `--fast-update` switch. Also non-picture files using the old date encoding should now be recognized even when not using the `--fast-update` switch, excluding geotags and the post metadata JSON files. The files containing comments get renamed to the new format when touched. Caption files are only renamed, if they get updated. Stored picture files do not get renamed at all. |

Instaloader =========== :: $ pip3 install instaloader $ instaloader profile [profile ...] **Instaloader** - downloads **public and private profiles, hashtags, user stories and feeds**, - downloads **comments, geotags and captions** of each post, - automatically **detects profile name changes** and renames the target directory accordingly, - allows **fine-grained customization** of filters and where to store downloaded media. :: instaloader [--comments] [--geotags] [--stories] [--login YOUR-USERNAME] [--fast-update] profile | "#hashtag" | :stories | :feed `Instaloader Documentation <https://instaloader.readthedocs.io/>`__ How to Automatically Download Pictures from Instagram ----------------------------------------------------- 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. To later **update your local copy** of that profiles, you may run :: instaloader --fast-update profile [profile ...] If ``--fast-update`` is given, Instaloader stops when arriving at the first already-downloaded picture. When updating profiles, Instaloader 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 ...] 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. `Instaloader Documentation <https://instaloader.readthedocs.io/basic-usage.html>`__ Disclaimer ---------- .. disclaimer-start Instaloader is in no way affiliated with, authorized, maintained or endorsed by Instagram or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.
