Instaloader as Cronjob
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Instaloader is suitable for running as a cronjob to periodically update your
|
||||
personal Instagram archive. The :option:`--quiet` option disables user
|
||||
interactions and logging of non-error messages. To non-interactively use
|
||||
Instaloader logged-in, create a session file, e.g. in your home directory::
|
||||
|
||||
instaloader --login=your_username --sessionfile=~/.instaloader-session
|
||||
|
||||
Then use the same parameters in your cronjob to load the session and download
|
||||
the given targets::
|
||||
|
||||
instaloader --login=your_username --sessionfile=~/.instaloader-session --quiet <target> [...]
|
||||
|
||||
Without :option:`--sessionfile` option, Instaloader saves the session file in
|
||||
a path within your temporary directory.

||||
Programming Instaloader
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
If your task cannot be done with the command line interface of Instaloader,
|
||||
consider taking a look at the :ref:`python-module-instaloader`.
|
||||
Instaloader exposes its internally used methods and structures, making it a
|
||||
powerful and intuitive Python API for Instagram, allowing to further customize
|
||||
obtaining media and metadata.
