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!

    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?

      This worked for me before but I had to update my user-agent string in wget.
