raider-release VS instaloader

If you're on Windows, Raider is a handy app especially if you're downloading entire accounts.

I use Raider for Instagram and I don't have any problems

https://www.getraider.com/ have never been blocked. It uses Electron (chromium) so it simulates actual browsers better.

Does anyone have an good alternative? Recently I have been using a program called raider (https://github.com/AssetKid/raider-release). Unlike instaloader when logged it it only grabs the 1080 version of the image and not the "high quality" version (1440) instaloader grabs when logged in. This stops it from hitting the rate limit as fast because apparently it takes a lot more extra calls to get the high quality version. On the down side I have noticed after it completes saveing 175 profiles instagram will lock my account after like 30 profiles on the next run. I only run it once a day mainly because it takes so long. There is also a time out setting that I have set for 240 and to only grab the last 50 posts.

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
