Insta-Gallery-Downloader

Edit - June 20, 2016: If the script/exe isn't working for you after 1st June, just get a new token and things should work just fine.

I have always wanted a way to download all my images from instagram gallery to share/show it to others.

For some reason, Instagram has never allowed you to download images, even if you are the owner. Yes, there's a feature that the image is downloaded when you upload, but what if you are on a different device ? What if you never turned on the feature ?

There's no way to bulk download your images.

Presenting Instagram Gallery Downloader! This is a bot/script to download all your instagram gallery pictures in a single folder. Simple as that. No strings attached.

First off, you need to login to instagram and head over to www.instagram.com/developer

1. Read simple instructions here -> http://www.slickremix.com/docs/how-to-create-instagram-access-token/ In addition to that, click on "Edit" after you've saved a client. Goto security, and untick "Disable implicit OAuth". We are doing that because we are going to implicitly call the APIs (without providing password everytime)

   Copy paste this URL in your browser : https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=[CLIENT_ID_HERE]&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=token&scope=basic+likes+comments+relationships

2. Watch the 2 min video, if step#1 is not clear -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkuJtIcXR68

3. Save the access token in config.txt file as:-

   access_token=newly generated token

   for ex: access_token=575199251.7in678i.g23atb436f6ba0fs8gi587f6a4esdcg3

   We need this access token to make requests to instagram.

4. And that's it, download the executable instaScrape_Sandbox.exe.

5. Place config.txt in the same folder as executable

6. Double click the .exe file, sit back, grab a beer, and let the script do its work.

All images of your feed will be present in Gallery folder created in the same directory. Enjoy! :)
