Nevertheless, in :issue:`92` and :issue:`615` users reported problems with
|
||||
logging in. We recommend to always keep the sessionfile which Instaloader
|
||||
creates when using :option:`--login`. If a sessionfile is present,
|
||||
:option:`--login` does not make make use of the failure-prone login procedure.
|
||||
Also, sessionfiles usually do not expire and can be copied between different
|
||||
computers without any problems.

If you do not have a sessionfile present, you may use the following script

(:example:`615_import_firefox_session.py`) to workaround login problems by

importing the session cookies from Firefox and bypassing Instaloader's login and

so still use Instaloader's logged-in functionality.
|

|

.. literalinclude:: codesnippets/615_import_firefox_session.py
|
||||
|
||||
#. login to Instagram in Firefox,
|
||||
To use this script,
|
||||
|
||||
#. execute the snippet,
|
||||
#. Download the script: :example:`615_import_firefox_session.py`,
|
||||
|
||||
#. then, ``instaloader -l USERNAME`` should work fine.
|
||||
#. Login to Instagram in Firefox,
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not use your default firefox profile, or your operating system has the
|
||||
paths differently set up, you may have to alter the ``FIREFOXCOOKIEFILE``
|
||||
variable first.
|
||||
#. Execute the snippet, e.g. with ``python 615_import_firefox_session.py``,
|
||||
|
||||
#. Then, ``instaloader -l USERNAME`` should work fine.
|
||||
|
||||
This script also supports specifying a cookiefile path, which may be useful if
|
||||
you use multiple Firefox profiles or if your operating system has the directory
|
||||
structure differently set up. Also, you can specify an alternative sessionfile
|
||||
path.
