hey @ashutoshkrris could you please assign this issue to me, I would love to try it as a part of my Hacktoberfest open source contributions!

[ashutoshkrris]

Sure @Anubhab2002 ! Go ahead with it

[Anubhab2002]

Hey @ashutoshkrris, can you tell me why am I getting this particular issue here? I am unable to resolve it.

[ashutoshkrris]

As mentioned in the Contributing Guidelines, you need not use flask run to run the server. You can make use of python main.py for the same

[Anubhab2002]

Yeah, it worked. Thanks a lot!

Hey @ashutoshkrris, an update:

• initially I tried using instaLooter, but its api services are limited to getting content by insta handle or by # of the post
• then I tried to scrap it directly, code https://gist.github.com/Anubhab2002/8e024020f35f6b0e856ad0c901f142fb but somehow this didn't work(showing response 429 ie, too many requests)
• finally I tried with selenium and chrome webdriver and this thing actually worked find except that there is no widget yet to show that the download is in progress. Also this requires additional things like the webdriver to take control of the website.

That being said, I am trying to refactor it efficiently, in the meantime if you can provide any views or comment regarding this.

[ashutoshkrris]

I suppose, we should go with the last choice.
