Tired of limitations when trying to repost saved Instagram pics? Instagram's API doesn't directly support reposting saved media. iGallery offers a workaround! This Django web app lets you view your saved Instagram pictures and provides a way to download them, making it easy to repost them as you wish.

• Instagram Authentication: Securely log in with your Instagram account.
• View Saved Pictures: Browse through all the pictures you've saved on Instagram.
• Download for Reposting: Download your saved pictures locally. Repost them using Instagram's regular posting features—no more restrictions!

• Python 3.7+ (check with python --version)
• pip (usually comes with Python - check with pip --version)
• Git (optional for cloning the repo - check with git --version)

1. Clone the Repository (Optional):

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/igallery.git
   cd igallery

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set Up Instagram App Credentials:

   • Create an Instagram developer account.
   • Register a new app, selecting "Consumer" as the app type.
   • In your app settings, set the following:
     • Valid OAuth Redirect URIs: https://localhost:8000/instagram/callback/ (adjust the port if needed).
   • Obtain your app's Client ID and Client Secret.
   • Create a .env file in your project root:

     INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
     INSTAGRAM_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
     DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=your_django_secret_key
     

5. Apply Migrations:

   python manage.py migrate

6. Run the Development Server:

   python manage.py runserver 

7. Access the App:

   • Open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ (or your specified port).

• We strongly recommend NOT hardcoding sensitive information directly into the code.
• Use a robust production server and deployment strategy for live environments.
• Consider using HTTPS for all communication.
