gallery-dl dont grab hq pictures

[mikf]

Is https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cf4IYfWjCiVB8tAD8RS6nQ8bwZepwTYKtZjnOM0/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= a mobile-only link or something to that effect?

gallery-dl dont grab hq pictures

It does for single posts.

[afterdelight]

does it download hq by default? do i need to login?

[mikf]

It does download them by default for /p/<shortcode> URLs, but I always get an HTTP redirect to login page warning for these when not logged in, even if I haven't accessed IG at all this day, so yes, you need an account for that.

The relevant issue for hq/original images would be https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/2666

[cunlem]

I think /p/<shorcode> URLs now require Referrer header to be set because they stopped working in browser too when not accessed from profile page. Is there a way to pass extra HTTP headers to gallery-dl?

[afterdelight]

what about stories? can it fetch the highest resolution available?

[mikf]

@cunlem You can pass custom headers with the headers option, for example -o headers.Referer=https://www.instagram.com/p/<shortcode>, but that doesn't seem to make a difference for the post from this issue

@afterdelight I think so, since stories use a non-GraphQL API endpoint, but you should check with instaloader and compare to be sure.
