InstaGet

Easily save instagram video/pictures, youtube thumbnails and twitch clips.

Just copy a link from instagram like: "https://www.instagram.com/p/BWlUWkZD0pr/?taken-by=gaming1empire" run the script, and it will get downloaded.

If you add a link for a gallery post it will download all pictures from that post.

How to use

Things you need: Python3.5. Python modules: bs4, requests, pyperclip, lxml.

You can install them in cmd with "pip install [module]"

By default the downloaded content will be saved at "C:/InstaGet"

For downloading twitch clips

You also need selenium (python module), firefox and (geckodriver). On windows, download (geckodriver) and move the exe file into the python folder.

Setup

If you do not have python 3.5 (Download Here). I suggest installing it at e.g C:\Python35 to easier find it in the cmd when you want to install modules, if that is going to be needed.

Then I recommend setting up this to the folder you keep your scripts, to easily run them with windows RUN (windows key + R).

If you dont know how to install modules it's shown here: http://i.imgur.com/Meww3nZ.png)
