# PyInstaLive
This script enables you to record Instagram livestreams. It is based on [another script](https://github.com/taengstagram/instagram-livestream-downloader) that has now been discontinued.

## Dependencies
You need to install these dependencies first before this script will work:

[instagram_private_api](https://github.com/ping/instagram_private_api#install)

[instagram_private_api_extensions](https://github.com/ping/instagram_private_api_extensions#install)

#### Note
You need [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Python 2.x](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2713/) with [Pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/) installed before you can install these dependencies and use this script.

## Usage
```bash
python cMain.py -u "<username>" -p "<password>" -r "<live-username>"
```
Where ``<username>`` is your account's username, ``<password>`` is your password and ``<live-username>`` is the username of the user whose livestream you want to record.

## Example
```bash
python cMain.py -u "johndoe" -p "grapefruits" -r "justinbieber"
```

If a livestream is currently ongoing, the terminal output should be something like this:

```
