"Unable to render page, Try increasing timeout"

I've installed all the dependencies and trying to run it via the command line like this:
python3.6 instagram_scraper.py --tags billfish --count 10

However, I'm getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "instagram_scraper.py", line 101, in <module> main(args.tags, args.count) File "instagram_scraper.py", line 89, in main _single_tag_processing(tag, total_count) File "instagram_scraper.py", line 70, in _single_tag_processing tag, total_count)): File "instagram_scraper.py", line 34, in scrape_instagram_tag req.html.render(scrolldown=page) File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\r equests_html.py", line 590, in render raise MaxRetries("Unable to render the page. Try increasing timeout") requests_html.MaxRetries: Unable to render the page. Try increasing timeout

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Add --continue option

It should read the data from csv file and assume that those images already exist, and continue from there...

Same images downloaded due to page offset introduced by new image additions

Simple fix would be keep the images scraped and downloaded using their IDs, and before downloading, check it.

Add tests!!
