Rip private instagrams #125

Open 4pr0n opened 9 years ago

reg_teg: I've found that I can't rip private instagram's though? Even after they have been added and I can view their profile, The program doesn't seem to be able to rip? Thanks.

Requires asking for a username/password, and would require OAuth support or something similar, and I hate OAuth.

@tehloxely commented I'm sure you might know this already. But RipMe cannot download from private Instagram accounts. Would it be possible in the future to add your Instagram account to RipMe to be able to rip those accounts, that you're friends with, that are private? I currently am using 4k Stogram to do this, but that program is crazy heavy on RAM.

If Instagram provides a way to get a auth key tied to your user account (like we have for Twitter and Tumblr API keys in the rip.properties config file), then this could be possible. Otherwise OAuth and a lot of trouble to go through. It could probably be done but I think there are other areas where we could add more value to this project for the time investment.

I would like this ability too please. I hope a solution can be found
