Description

This project is born after my other project GIFTUH that retrieved images from Twitter only is no longer working.

So I decided to make another one that could do the same thing from other Social Medias, like Instagram.

So, the purpose of this project is to retrieve images from posts that contains a specific keyword or hashtag. Images will be downloaded into the downloaded_images folder.
