An lightweight frontend for Instagram

hastygram

A lightweight frontend for Instagram. No fuss, just navigate to /<username> and enjoy the content. This supports images, videos and "groups" thereof – Instagram call them sidecars.

Usage

1. You need an account, otherwise Instagram will quickly rate-limit your anonymous session.
2. Connect to Instagram using the website, then using the browser devtools, copy the sessionid cookie value to the clipboard.
3. On your Hastygram frontend, use the Authenticate button to paste the cookie value. This is necessary only once.
4. If you encounter errors after a while, follow the same procedure again with a fresh sessionid cookie.

Building and deploying

See /example for an example deployment using Nginx.

# The frontend:
# You'll have to serve the resulting web/build/ directory as static files.
$ ( cd web && yarn run build )

# The Python backend:
# You'll have to reverse-proxy :8000 in location /_.
$ pip install hastygram 'uvicorn[standard]'
$ uvicorn hastygram.app:app --port 8000
