I don’t have an account myself, and the photos and videos I’m trying to download en masse belong to a famous person’s public account. Is there anything I can use to do it (as long as it’s not creating an account lol), preferably proxied tools as apparently I get blocked while behind a VPN?

Thank you!

    Seriously be super careful doing that on… Homework… Sites, as they can and often do contain illegal imagery that the moderation teams might have missed.

      I appreciate the thought. In this case, it was all around a particular model and I had already seen all of the images. It was just a faster method to write the code and execute (plus it gave me the chance to scream ULTIMATE POWER!!! as it ran) than individually downloading each image.

        Hahaha valid and I’ve done something similar. As long as you know what you’re going to be getting you should be set, I however downloaded an entire unintentionally exposed endpoint’s dataset and got things I would rather never have seen and had to report to LEA.
