A CLI tool that downloads data and photos for an Instagram user.

• Install it with: npm i -g scrape-instagram-data.
• You can then run it with: scrape -u ig_username.
• For more options type: scrape --help or answer the questions.

It creates a folder data/ig_username/ that contains:

• A posts.json file with the post data.
• A user-data.json file with the user data.
• An images folder with the images.

• This tool violates the Instagram terms of use, and you may not be able to create new accounts from your current IP.
• The script may hang at the last few posts. You can either wait to finish/timeout, or you can cancel it and download again. It will download and overwrite the 2 JSON files but it won't download the images again—only those that failed.

• More scraping for video/gallery types—available types: GraphImage, GraphVideo, or GraphSidecar. The data don't provide links for gallery images and videos; we'll have to use a different API.
