Site support request: instagram videos I liked

[urza]

Is it possible to add list extractor for instagram videos I liked? Instagram API is able to return 300 last items I liked (need authentication).
(I found this related blog http://symmetricinfinity.com/2013/04/06/download-your-likes-from-instagram.html)

Here are my notes if anyone wants to get to it before me:

URL: https://www.instagram.com/x/saved/ where x is username

Request always requires cookies.

https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/?query_hash=8c86fed24fa03a8a2eea2a70a80c7b6b&variables=<encoded JSON>

variables must have:

• id - User ID (see current extractor for how to get this)
• first - integer, I think this is the limit
• after - Unique ash for keeping track; it is on the page for the first request, next JSON returns it

Paths in the returned data:

data.user.edge_saved_media.count - int
data.user.edge_saved_media.edges - array
    [].node.is_video
           .shortcode = after /p/
data.user.edge_saved_media.page_info.end_cursor - goes in 'after' in variables in next request
                                    .has_next_page - boolean

The only way to do this without using the API (which will be deprecated, and the new Graph API does not provide this information) is to go through the entire feed with this path: /graphql/query/?query_hash=663d44f965069e3e859e829b6101903e&variables=%7B%7D

In the JSONthere's data.user.edge_web_feed_timeline.edges[].node.viewer_has_liked and to paginate there's the cursor string like in other requests already supported by the extractor.

Going through the entire feed (10 posts per request) will definitely take a while.
