Sadly the repository doesn't work.
User name not found.

Could you maybe explain how to use it?

Urgent to gather some informayion

It keeps saying user not found or it gives me a random syntax error

Note that this script works using cmd on Windows 10, however, it does not run when using gitBash.

python main.py --username valid_instagram_user

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 201, in <module>
    main()
  File "main.py", line 192, in main
    print(colors.OKBLUE + banner + colors.ENDC)

    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 9-15: character maps to <undefined>

After commenting out everything that has to do with the colors class, I get this error.

$ python main.py --username valid_instagram_user

When I try to search for an account with this command:
python3 main.py username

I get this error:
main.py: error: the following arguments are required: --username

"pip3 install -r requriments.txt" should be changed to "pip3 install -r requirements.txt"

More options, such as:

• No ANSI color escapes.
• Dump to file.
• Select only certain properties.
• Etc.

Getting an error Username not found.

I used this tool (with --downloadPhotos) on someone with ~70 posts, but it only downloaded 11. Is there a reason for this?

Hi,
I'm currently trying to test this tool but I have a problem. I try to run the tool on 2 existing Insta account but the two times the tool send a "Username not found" message...
Did I have to specify my username and pass in the tool to run it?
Where does the error come from?
Thanks for your help!

python3 main.py
File "main.py", line 50
print(colors.OKGREEN + f"[*] Starting Scan on {self.username}" + colors.ENDC)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Can you create a requirements.txt to easily install all dependencies
Thank's !

I ran the script on my Instagram account and it downloaded 3 copies of each image on my profile
