    OK, be aware that osint gram sometimes burns the account it works with. Instaloader is a tool, like osint gram, written in python to download all media and comments of an Instagram account. (no need for a sockpuppet) Since you're already invested in OSINT (being in this group), I think now is as good as any other moment to start with a Linux distro in virtualbox. It comes with python3 installed and will open a world of wonderful tools created by osint enthusiasts all over the world. If you don't want to go on the path of python based tools, you can look into extensions that does the trick. https://github.com/HuiiBuh/InstagramDownloader (you have to download the zip file and by means of the developer menu load the extension in (for obvious reasons they can publish the extension in the chrome store ;-))
