README
# ⛔️ DEPRECATED
Instagram moved the pictures array to another endpoint (with more than one redirect) making harder to catch images server side without scrapers like [Puppeter](https://pptr.dev/).
Althought is not perfect 
(as a temporary solution) works.
Maybe in the future I will share a new version, but judging by the many demands without any kind of gratitude and collaboration from the community, I have lost the desire.

1. Select the "Network" tab
2. Search and click on "timeline/" file; if it is empty just refresh the page
3. Select "Headers" bar
4. Be sure the file is Request Method "POST" (if it is "OPTIONS" search the other "timeline/" file in the list)
5. Scroll down and select "Request Headers" tab
6. Copy all the code after the word "cookie: " and paste it on `_cookie` variable
7. Copy all the code after the word "user-agent: " and paste it on `_userAgent` variable
8. Copy all the code after the word "x-ig-app-id: " and paste it on `_xIgAppId` variable
```diff
- don't share your cookie code with anyone!!! it is the same of your credentials
```
- That's it, enjoy :)
## 💻 Images Base64
Although you can get the URLs of the images, Instagram doesn't give you the possibility to include and showing those images on your projects (they will be automatically blocked from their servers).\
To solve this problem you will get all the URLs and all the images data in base64.\
You can easily show the image data on your project with the following snippets of code:
```html
![]()
```
```css
.example { background-image: url('data:image/jpg;base64, hereYourBase64String..'); }
```
Check https://orsifrancesco.github.io/instagram-without-api/how-to-show-base64-images.html for Base64 example.
