I don’t have an account myself, and the photos and videos I’m trying to download en masse belong to a famous person’s public account. Is there anything I can use to do it (as long as it’s not creating an account lol), preferably proxied tools as apparently I get blocked while behind a VPN?
Thank you!
So uh… Who ya creepin’ on?
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.

Absolute GOAT. Thanks a lot
I recall a tool that might have been called Ramme did this. Used it when I deleted my IG account a long while back.
I’ve successfully used https://instaloader.github.io/ in the past.
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 usedwget
to mass download. Maybe Instagram does this for raw image links?This worked for me before but I had to update my user-agent string in wget.
osintgram works best for me
