Archive an Instagram account's videos and browse them on your own terms

Instagram has closed the door on scripted clients, so instagram-offline lets the real browser do the talking: it drives a logged-in Chromium session over the DevTools protocol, scrolls the profile, harvests the post data Instagram sends to the page and pulls the videos and reels straight from the CDN — including posts co-authored with other accounts. Every post lands in an index, so a rerun stops at the first known post and only fetches what is new. The result is a self-contained static website you can open from disk or drop on any web server: one page per account, carousel posts as animated, draggable sliders, topic filters built from caption keywords, and an expandable About box that introduces the account and its recurring themes.
