php-instagram-downloader

Introduction

Quick script I whipped up to download all my posted images and videos from Instagram. Supports concurrent downloads using RollingCurlX by marcushat.

Changes to Instagram's API may break this script. I will try to keep it up to date, but make no guarantees.

Usage

$ php instagram_dl.php <username>

Cookies

If your account is private, the script will need to be authenticated. Cookies can be exported from your local browser and added to a file called cookies.txt in the same folder as the script.
