The Social Media Toolkit is an easy-to-use application that helps you download media content from social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Pinterest. It uses Python libraries like requests, BeautifulSoup, instaloader, and pytube, and has a simple GUI built with customtkinter.

• Download Images from Pinterest
• Download Media from Twitter
• User-Friendly Interface with CustomTkinter

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/MSC72m/social-media-toolkit.git
   cd social-media-toolkit

Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`

Install Required Libraries:

   pip install requests beautifulsoup4 customtkinter pytube instaloader threading random

Run the application:

python main.py

Enter a URL in the input field of the GUI and click the "Analyze URL and Download" button.

Instagram has 12 anonymous download limit, if you encounter 401 errors it's because of that.

Meta is sensitive to scraping methods, In inorder to limit the risk of getting your main account banned, preferably create a fake Instagram account and use that to download media. if you don't download near the 1000 download limit daily, the risk of getting banned is lower but still, it's recommended to use a fake account for this perpose

1. navigate to the project directory.

2. Open the script file.

3. Replace the entire download_instagram_video function in your script with the following code:

   def download_instagram_video(link, username='your_username', password='your_password'):
       loader = instaloader.Instaloader()
     """ replacing the function with this and replacing the username and password you won't have 401 error and 12 item rate limit will be lifted to 1000 """
       # Login to Instagram
       try:
           loader.login(username, password)
       except instaloader.exceptions.BadCredentialsException:
           messagebox.showerror("Error", "Invalid username or password.")
           on_operation_done() 
           return
       except instaloader.exceptions.ConnectionException:
           messagebox.showerror("Error", "Connection error, please check your internet connection.")
           on_operation_done()  # Callback to re-enable the button
           return
       except Exception as e:
           messagebox.showerror("Error", f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")
           on_operation_done()  
           return
   
       try:
           post = instaloader.Post.from_shortcode(loader.context, link.split('/')[-2])
           video_url = post.video_url
           download_video(video_url, f"downloaded_instagram_video{save_path}.mp4")
           messagebox.showinfo("Success", "Video downloaded successfully.")
           on_operation_done() 
       except Exception as e:
           messagebox.showerror("Error", f"Error downloading Instagram video: {e}")
           on_operation_done() 

4. Replace 'your_username' and 'your_password' with your Instagram login credentials in the download_instagram_video function.

5. Run the script:

   python main.py

By following these instructions, users will be able to download more than the anonymous limit of 12 files by logging in with their Instagram credentials (it will have a 1000-item limit).
