Download Instagram Photos to Attachments, Embed in Daily Page?

Plugins ideas
1

Is this the place where I’d let folks know I’d love a plug-in capable of scraping my Instagram feed, downloading the images into an Attachments/Instagram folder, and embedding the resulting images into a Daily Notes Page under a specified heading (like “Photos”)?

If not, I don’t mean to come across as all “Here’s my Santa Claus list, please deliver all gifts to my house by December 25th.”

But if so, please let me know how I can encourage development.

An alternative: if easier, a plug-in that would automagically fetch Instagram URLs and embed those into the relevant daily notes page would also be useful. Thanks!

  1. I think this is way too much functionality for an Obsidian plugin. But one possibility would be to use another program like Instaloader to download the Instagram data. I think that it is not possible to download your feed, but only individual accounts, storys and posts. But I tried Instaloader a few weeks ago and it wasn’t working for me.

  2. What do you mean by “fetch instagram urls”? Do you want to show only certain instaram URL’s in your Daily Notes? You could do that with automated templates. To do this, you create a template for your Daily Notes and then have it automatically inserted as soon as you open Obsidian.

Sorry, this thread is just a cesspool honeypot for spammers. I’m closing it.
