  • Remember, all functions return promises.

Arguments​

scrapePosts takes 3 arguments: scrapePosts('brahmbeyond',1, true)

  • Username
  • Number (Scroll Count - the more scroll count the more posts will be scraped) by default its set to 1
  • Boolean (true/false) - indicating whether you want to download the images or not , by default its set to true

By default, the second argument is set to true (meaning images will be downloaded to a folder named 'Images').

Note: The import syntax (import ... from '@brahmbeyond/instareel') is used with ES6 modules, which are supported in Node.js version 14 and later, and in most modern browsers. If you're using an older version of Node.js or a runtime that doesn't support ES6 modules, you should use the require syntax instead (const ... = require('@brahmbeyond/instareel')).

insta.js
import {scrapePosts} from '@brahmbeyond/instareel'
// const {scrapePosts} = require('@brahmbeyond/instareel')

async function main() {
    const images = await scrapePosts('brahmbeyond',4, true);
    console.log(images); // This will log the array of image URLs  
}

main().catch(console.error);

Download Images only​

insta.js
import {scrapePosts} from '@brahmbeyond/instareel'
// const {scrapePosts} = require('@brahmbeyond/instareel')

async function main() {
     await scrapePosts('brahmbeyond',1, true); // this will download images only

}

main().catch(console.error);

Set second argument to false

insta.js
import {scrapePosts} from '@brahmbeyond/instareel'
// const {scrapePosts} = require('@brahmbeyond/instareel')

async function main() {
    const images = await scrapePosts('brahmbeyond',1, false);
    console.log(images); // This will log the array of image URLs
}

main().catch(console.error);

You can also use .then()​

insta.js
import {scrapePosts} from '@brahmbeyond/instareel'
// const {scrapePosts} = require('@brahmbeyond/instareel')

scrapePosts('brahmbeyond',1, true).then(images => {
    console.log(images); // This will log the array of image URLs
});
