Instagram\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nTo **download all pictures and videos of a profile**, as well as the\n**profile picture**, do\n\n::\n\n    instaloader profile [profile ...]\n\nwhere ``profile`` is the name of a profile you want to download. Instead\nof only one profile, you may also specify a list of profiles.\n\nTo later **update your local copy** of that profiles, you may run\n\n::\n\n    instaloader --fast-update profile [profile ...]\n\nIf ``--fast-update`` is given, Instaloader stops when arriving at the\nfirst already-downloaded picture.\n\nAlternatively, you can use ``--latest-stamps`` to have Instaloader store\nthe time each profile was last downloaded and only download newer media:\n\n::\n\n    instaloader --latest-stamps -- profile [profile ...]\n\nWith this option it's possible to move or delete downloaded media and still keep\nthe archive updated.\n\nWhen updating profiles, Instaloader\nautomatically **detects profile name changes** and renames the target directory\naccordingly.\n\nInstaloader can also be used to **download private profiles**. To do so,\ninvoke it with\n\n::\n\n    instaloader --login=your_username profile [profile ...]\n\nWhen logging in, Instaloader **stores the session cookies** in a file in your\ntemporary directory, which will be reused later the next time ``--login``\nis given.  So you can download private profiles **non-interactively** when you\nalready have a valid session cookie file.\n\n`Instaloader Documentation \u003chttps://instaloader.github.io/basic-usage.html\u003e`__\n\nContributing\n------------\n\nAs an open source project, Instaloader heavily depends on the contributions from\nits community.
