# 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)
