Tool for tracking Instagram followers and archiving data
1. npm install
2. npm run vault
- The app uses a script injected into browser console. No login details are needed.
- The script uses encrypted hash keys, which means that if Instagram changes those at any moment, you can no longer fetch new data.
- Instagram warns about not pasting scripts in the console, but if you have suspicions, see the code for yourself: The console script
- The data from Instagram's API is not always up to date. In some cases you might have a few days of delay until account changes show up.
- Large accounts are not supported. The script loads accounts in batches of 50 users at a time, so accounts with more than 10 000 followers will take time, and take up lots of RAM. The rate limit is in place to not get blocked by the API.
- Sometimes accounts might report invalid data. For example if someone has blocked you, they might not appear in other account's follower list, and therefore show an invalid follower count.
- No accounts have been banned from using the app, but use at your own risk.
- Login details are not asked and not saved anywhere, so they will stay safe.
