Able to upload art from Instagram

Posted under Bugs & Features

Can confirm first-hand that Instagram is annoying as balls, you can see me last yap about it in forum #395762. Suffice to say even when just using the site manually by hand on laptop after a hundred posts or so regardless of being logged in or not it just tells me to fuck off; can only imagine how quickly this would end up happening at scale if it were done through danbooru's server.

You can inspect element and toggle through a few elements to find the image URL to upload, and then you just have to (annoyingly) do the commentary manually (this was the thing I was doing retroactively for hundreds of posts hence why instagram yelled at me daily for a week or so there)

Instagram: the website where the desktop experience is objectively worse than the mobile experience™

When I checked the upload the website are allowed to upload. I’m kind of surprised there’s none for Instagram so this is a request. Can somebody able to make it happen please

I upload from instagram often. I use those "instagram image downloader sites," copy the download link into the danbooru link bar, then manually copy and paste the source and commentary, as well as the artist.

It's tedious but it works, here's an example: post #10920200

Let it be known I do the 3rd-party website method too, and I still hate uploading from Instagram (and Instagram in general) with a burning passion. If I can find the artwork literally anywhere else, I will use that instead.

It hates you if you refuse to make an account, it hates you even if you do make an account apparently, and it's impossible to have a downloader for because it hates your guts. Not even Xiaohongshu was that bad to get a working downloader for, and that took a good three attempts give or take.
