Is it really creeping if the profile is public? Same thing as checking it daily with your Instagram account, but without the privacy issues
Checking in daily and viewing all their pics and videos does still feel like creeping yeah haha
It is creeping. If your neighbor goes outside in public and you stare at her from your window blinds, with the lights out just so you can see her ankles twice a day. Yes, she is in public and you are only looking, but the obsession is not normal behavior.
Thanks for the psychological evaluation!
This instagram user is not just outside the public. They are not just a random person walking on the street, but someone who has printed pictures of themselves on paper and glued it to lamp posts and bus stops. They decided to do that, despite it not being needed for access to the platform, and also they decided that the content should be accessible publicly.
Don't know if it works without an account but gallery-dl supports Instagram
I have experience with this, from a friend...
You can download without an account, but if I remember correctly it's only certain types of media with a quality restriction.
Lol, even lower quality than Instagram butchers it when you upload? What's the restriction, 120p?
I'll have to try it later, but since it says that it authenticates through cookies I thought it needed a login. Thank though
I recall a tool that might have been called Ramme did this. Used it when I deleted my IG account a long while back.
osintgram works best for me
Not sure if this would help in your case but I once was ripping images from a... Homework site.... and after recognizing all of the media files were named as _001, _002..., I created an if loop and used wget to mass download. Maybe Instagram does this for raw image links?
Seriously be super careful doing that on... Homework... Sites, as they can and often do contain illegal imagery that the moderation teams might have missed.
I appreciate the thought. In this case, it was all around a particular model and I had already seen all of the images. It was just a faster method to write the code and execute (plus it gave me the chance to scream ULTIMATE POWER!!! as it ran) than individually downloading each image.
Hahaha valid and I've done something similar. As long as you know what you're going to be getting you should be set, I however downloaded an entire unintentionally exposed endpoint's dataset and got things I would rather never have seen and had to report to LEA.
Absolutely weirdo
This worked for me before but I had to update my user-agent string in wget.
I feel out of the loop here. What's a homework site?
Porn. It's porn. Like the old gag of having a "Homework" folder on your computer.
Neat! * thumb up *
