Downloading Instagram Photos Like RSS Feed


Trying to make a desktop slideshow screensaver. Instead of the same pictures time and time again I thought it would be cool to pull from an Instagram feed.

RSS feeds can be used to get live data from sites like Facebook, twitter, etc. I was wondering if there is a way to have a similar effect for downloading Instagram photos.

What I need:

  • Program that updates once a day

  • Searches a specific Instagram account, or multiple

  • Downloads the latest 10 photos for example

  • Removes old photos (so the folder doesn't get oversized)

That way Windows can pull the photos from that folder to use for a slideshow.

Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this? Or how to go about accomplishing this?


Solution

  • Outdated, Unfortunately Instagram changed it's settings and now this no longer works


    Turns out it's far easier than that. A program called

    Screenstagram

    Has this capability and more
