gallery-dl VS instaloader

If you want to grab all the images and videos take a look at gallery-dl, found here https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl

My question is about the docs. Here is the link to gallery-dl on github. from what i see it's kept up-to-date. I'm trying to download a post from ig through any method. Also thinking of creating a configuration-file if necessary. My OS: windows 10, i have worked with a cli before but on linux and my knowledge is very superficial. I have managed to use this tool on other websites like pinterest but can't think of any solutions for instagram as of now. The errors i get are about using the authentication method and when trying to set the cookies-from-browser option.

I could set up a redirect to the '/raw/' pages but then the syntax highlighting is gone.

The same page is perfectly viewable over plain html on gothub[2] though.

Github also seems to be hiding their "Assets" (binaries et al) on the "/releases" page for some projects behind javascript(especially older versions).[3] Something else that wasn't the case about ~1.5 years ago.

Would be great if gothub could unshackle the links to those as well[4], but that appears to not be working at the moment[5] .

This project appears to be a more performant(measurably so), more privacy friendly(as Microsoft won't have a record of your interest in certain projects) alternative front-end for "non logged in" github users.

I like it, but it still needs work.

since it's primarily a picture/video platform, you can use gallery-dl to scrape the feeds you want to follow if you provide authentication, and you should be able to write the captions and stuff to metadata files, but not sure how you'd display it in a useful way.

you could use gallery-dl to do this as well.

gallery-dl (CLI based) focuses on images.

Maybe there is a way to set specific configs only for reddit gallery images, but I'm not sure how it works. Gallery-dl's documentation did not help me, and I also tried to find information from the source code.

You can try image scraping with something like gallery-dl or grabber. I use grabber for stuff off of booru style sites (anime weeb shit), and grabber for everything else. The challenge with these tools is:

I've been archiving a number of accounts for at least 3 years now. I've mainly used https://instaloader.github.io/. Had no problem initially, but now it's pretty easy for an account I use to be suspended. I tried spacing out my downloads but it didn't help. Any thoughts or tips?

lol thank you, I used a script from github that does it automatically so it only takes a few seconds, I will keep updating this one but if somebody needs it for future archiving I used https://instaloader.github.io/

I can understand it could be doubtful if you only read that, but it uses instaloader for processing that specific data and it is completly open source, so you can check them out aswell if you think there's anything unclear about it. Thanks

I would start with python and a library like this one: https://instaloader.github.io/

This is what I use with great success. https://github.com/instaloader/instaloader
