REST-InstagramDL-Cucumber

Source code for very basic Instagram photos download automation example, using the rest-client and nokogiri gems, with code written in Ruby. Gem dependencies are managed by Bundler. This example has an integration with Cucumber to provide a way of defining a test description language if desired.

Note: The tool only works for public IG profiles and was only written as an example of simulating a web app via the HTTP layer (for learning purposes).

Steps

1. Install Ruby and the Ruby Development Kit
2. Clone or download this repository
3. Open a terminal / command line of your choice and navigate to your local repository
4. Run bundle install to install gem dependencies
5. Run cucumber IGID=<ig_profile_id> to run the tool, which downloads only the latest photos from a person's profile
6. Pass a DL_ALL=true command in the tool to download all photos uploaded by that particular person
