Fetch Folder ¶

by user

./{username}
├── profile
│   └── {username}_{hash}.txt    // user profile, biography
├── avatar
│   ├── {username}_{hash}.jpg    // user avatar image
│   └── (...).jpg                // and more ... if put `xig` into cron jobs
├── content
│   ├── {date}_{code}_{id}.json  // json files, for some day `xig` reuse
│   └── {date}_{code}_{id}.txt   // for human readable content
└── img
    ├── {code}_{hash}.jpg        // user uploaded images
	└── (...).jpg                // and more ...

Note ¶

* All images will try to fetch original size.

* Private user need setting `IGUSER`, `IGPASS` and using `-u`. Cookies file will save as `cookies.gob`

* Content's readable date is in `RFC3339` format.

* instagram won't to ban ip, may CDN doesn't check.

* `xig`'s code base are not pretty, I will make it pretty :)

Tips ¶

For crontab, every 1m to fetch

*/1 * * * * cd ~/{some folder}; ({$go_bin_path}/xig {username} 2>&1) >> ./{username}.log

For crontab, using `-d` for delay fetch.

*/1 * * * * cd ~/{some folder}; ({$go_bin_path}/xig -d 30 {username} 2>&1) >> ./{username}.log
