I’ve looked through most posts here and on reddit and it seems pretty bleak, but maybe someone here knows an app that’s somehow miraculously unaffected by the rate limiting? I know I could just not use instagram at all, but I mostly use it to keep up with local and international activism and most of these organizations don’t have their own website and it would suck to have to either reinstall the official app or use the desktop version just for that.

instaloader can scrape instagram accounts. do note that they’ll ban your account if you use it in a ‘suspicious’ way, i.e. downloading multiple times or simultaneously.

you can setup a cron job on your *nix machine and setup a script to notify for new files (posts).
