I used instaloader to scrape about 5 profiles (my friends, ofc i have their permission) every day (was it called story? the 24h expiring thing). occasionally the token(?) saved in instaloader would expire and display their warning saying there was "Suspicious activity" or something, so i setup a simple script to run firefox to login and extract cookies from it every time.
