# InstaAPI
InstaAPI is a simple Python Wrapper for interacting with the Instagram Downloader API via RapidAPI. This Wrapper allows you to easily fetch download links and thumbnails for Instagram posts.

## Features
- Fetch Instagram post download links and thumbnails.
- Securely store and use your RapidAPI key.
## Prerequisites
Before you start, you'll need:
1. A **RapidAPI** account: If you don’t have one, you can create it at [RapidAPI](https://rapidapi.com/).
2. The **Instagram Downloader API** key: You can subscribe to it [here](https://rapidapi.com/officialofun-C-wpfpix418/api/test-api646).
## Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/farhaanaliii/InstaAPI.git
```
2. Navigate to the project folder:
```bash
cd InstaAPI
```
3. Install required Python packages:
```bash
pip install requests
```
## Setup
1. **Store your RapidAPI key securely**:
- Open the `config.py` file in the project.
- Replace `"your_rapidapi_key_here"` with your actual RapidAPI key.
```python
RAPIDAPI_KEY = "your_rapidapi_key_here" # Replace with your actual API key
```
2. **Running the Test**:
After setting up the API key in `config.py`, run the `main.py` script:
```bash
python main.py
```
This will fetch the Instagram post's thumbnail and download link and display them in the terminal.
## Example Usage
In `main.py`, you can change the `post_url` to any Instagram post URL you want to fetch data from. Here's the default example:
```python
post_url = "https://www.instagram.com/coding.np/p/DCyqv53Sa8R/"
```
The script will fetch and display the thumbnail and download link.
