Hello,

I have made Python scripts to scrape Instagram and Threads. I would like some suggestion or criticism :D

      You know that “anti commercial AI license” shit does nothing, right? It’s the equivalent of idiots posting that wall of text on Facebook a decade or so ago saying they don’t give Facebook permission to use their pictures, posts…etc.

      I mean if it makes you feel better and gives you a sense of control in an otherwise out-of-your-control environment then I suppose go for it, but you’re not actually accomplishing anything other than making yourself feel slightly better and more deluded.

      only scrape_instagram.py requires login. you need to change 8th line of scrape_instagram.py to log into instagram. however you don’t need to log in to scrape Threads.
