PyInstaLive

PyInstaLive

This script enables you to record Instagram livestreams. It is based on another script that has now been discontinued.

Dependencies

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

instagram_private_api

instagram_private_api_extensions

Note

You need Git and Python 2.x with Pip installed before you can install these dependencies and use this script.

Usage

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

python cMain.py -u "johndoe" -p "grapefruits" -r "justinbieber"

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