instagram-scraper VS gallery-dl

I used to use https://github.com/arc298/instagram-scraper

There was a FOSS program that worked. The problem is, if they detect anything remotely like scraping, they'll ban your account. I don't know what a good "pause" amount of time to set in the program would be to get around their flags. I think this was the one I used before (and got my account banned.) https://github.com/arc298/instagram-scraper And then if you don't login, they make you wait a really long time between downloads and you can't access some information (like your saves.)

You are correct, I should be using programName directly, not sure why I was invoking it using python3. The package is instagram-scraper. Still, when I just call "instagram-scraper" with appropriate arguments I get:

Would this project help you in any way? it allows scraping posts by location, among other features https://github.com/arc298/instagram-scraper

I think I was using this https://github.com/arc298/instagram-scraper

to download every data of an account, https://github.com/arc298/instagram-scraper worked. But be warned it's output is a complete mess and nothing is sorted

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:
