Instagram Download Button

In the future, I will focus on fixing the bugs that happen in my environment if I have the free time
Thank you all like this script. Before the beginning of this year, I devoted significant effort to ensuring its compatibility with the most recent versions of the Instagram webpage. However, Instagram frequently modifies its front-end and distributes distinct versions of the web across various regions. It's challenging to reproduce the bug and debug it on my end. Additionally, I'm focusing on my full-time job. Therefore, as the title suggests, I will focus on fixing the bugs that I encounter if I have the free time.
Introduction
This repository is a JavaScript for Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey. This script will add a download button and open button to your Instagram and you can download or open profile pictures, media in the posts, stories, and highlights by one click.
The newer versions code only do some simple tests on Chrome. So if you have any problem, please feel free to contact me in English or Chinese and attach the detail information such as your runtime environment, IG post url, etc.
Note: This script only tests on Chrome , Edge, and Firefox with Tampermonkey on Windows 10 1903 64-bit.

- There is some feedback provided by users that Instagram will block your account for a few hours (maybe longer) if you download too much media in a short time. So please mind the download number.
- Doesn't support reels page (i.e.,
https://www.instagram.com/reels/)

About the new url fetch method
Around May 2022, Instagram modified the web page so that some media could not be downloaded (especially Reels). From this script version 1.13, a new method of fetching media url has been added and is enabled by default (not yet applied to Story). This new method can obtain full resolution pictures (to be verified) and all media can be downloaded at present, but the disadvantage is that the speed of fetching URLs is slow (download speed has no effect) and may have some bugs. You can set disableNewUrlFetchMethod to true if you don't want to use the new method. Or you can set prefetchAndAttachLink to true in order to prefetch the URL info.
