Download Instagram Images via email ?

Process

Make a new credentials.js file and export email and password so that you can use it in index.js and mailSender.js.

credentials.js should look something like this:

const email = '[email protected]';
const password = 'fakepassword';

module.exports = {
    email,
    password,
};

and then import email and password in index.js and mailSender.js

const { email, password } = require('./credentials');

If you prefer ? ES6 instead use this:

const email = '[email protected]';
const password = 'fakepassword';

export default {
    email,
    password,
};

and then import email and password in index.js and mailSender.js

const { email, password } = require('./credentials').default;

Keep in mind that your environment (e.g. node.js) must support ES6 Module syntax in order to use the ES6 syntax. NodeJS uses CommonJS Module syntax (module.exports) not ES6 module syntax (export keyword). So refer to this page to get more details and solve the undefined token export error, if you encounter it. The solution to this problem is to use babel npm package to transpile your ES6 to a commonjs target.

Send a mail to the specified email address ? with the link of the instagram image. It will send you back the image which you can easily download by right-clicking and Save As in your browser ?

The most basic way would be to use the share button on instagram and then share using email rather than copying the link and then sending the mail ⏰

Note: If using a Gmail account ?, you will need to do two things:

• Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings, which is detailed here.
• Authorize "less secure apps", which you is laid out in "Option 2" here.

My Server

I run this bot as well. Feel free to send an email to [email protected] to try it out. Expect the requested image within 12 seconds.

️ Warning ️

You will need to Turn Less Secure Apps on so I really dont recommend you to do it with your mail account. This is why I made a maiden email ID to host my bot.
