Automagic Forum

Is there any practical way to set up a trigger to download Instagram images you copy. for instance, if i go on my Instagram and copy the share link, automagic goes to the image webpage and download it. There are apps that does this, but if i can use Automagic instead would like that better. Plus I'd learn something new. So far my logic was getting the variable data from the clipboard then going from there, don't know what to do website wise considering Instagram doesn't have the same name in both webpage name and file image name(ex. instagram.com/p/xyz/ .. instagram.com/r/xyz.jpg).

There is a trigger Clipboard changed and action Copy text from clipboard. You can use those to copy the link in a variable. Then you should check it with regexp if it is Instagram link so it won't produce errors when you copy something else. You might be able to download the image with action Http request but I'm unsure about that.

Thanks for the response, okay so would i be able to do something with the api? https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/ seems like the second one receives information about the photo (GET /media/media-id )?

If you want to download the high-quality image and videos on your desktop or mobile phone visit http://www.socialdown.com. Here you have to just copy the URL link of the desired Instagram page and copied to the URL form of the socialdown.com, then your download is ready.
