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.
$ php instagram_dl.php <username>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.
You can execute cookies.php to auto generate cookies.txt. Don't forget to edit and put your username with password inside cookies.php before execute it. Or you can use cookies from your browser, the example as shown below.
