How to download all your Instagram pictures in highest resolution without using any API
Following the news about Facebook buying Instagram I decided to delete my Instagram account before Facebook claims ownership of my pictures.
Since the Instagram-recommended (in their FAQ): http://instaport.me/export doesn't work for me (probably they can't cope with the high demand),
here is a quick and dirty way to download all my Instagram pictures in their highest resolution in a few easy steps.
You will need: Firefox, Firebug, some text editor, wget
1. Go to http://statigr.am/yourlogin using Firefox with Firebug extension active
2. Scroll down as many times as it is needed to have all yor pictures thumbnails displayed (I had some 3 hundred pictures so it was not that much scrolling, YMMV)
3. In the Firebug JS console run this JS code: $(".lienPhotoGrid a img").each(function(index) { console.log($(this).attr('src')) })
4. JS console will contain urls to all the thumbnails images, like this: http://distilleryimage1.s3.amazonaws.com/4ed46cf2801511e1b9f1123138140926_5.jpg
