Instagram video downloader Telegram bot

Certainly! Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a Telegram bot using Python that can download Instagram videos:

1. Install the required packages:
   pip install python-telegram-bot instaloader

   1	pip install python-telegram-bot instaloader

   
   Import the necessary modules in your Python script:

   from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters import instaloader

   1 2	from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters import instaloader

   
   Define a function to handle the /start command:

   def start(update, context): context.bot.send_message(chat_id=update.effective_chat.id, text="Hi! Send me an Instagram video link and I'll provide the download option.")

   1 2	def start(update, context):     context.bot.send_message(chat_id=update.effective_chat.id, text="Hi! Send me an Instagram video link and I'll provide the download option.")

   
   Define a function to handle Instagram video links:

   python

   def handle_instagram_link(update, context): message = update.message text = message.text # Extract the video ID from the Instagram link video_id = text.split('/')[-1] if video_id: # Create an Instaloader instance loader = instaloader.Instaloader() try: # Download the video loader.download_video(video_id, target=f"{video_id}.mp4") # Send the video file as a reply context.bot.send_video(chat_id=message.chat_id, video=open(f"{video_id}.mp4", 'rb')) except instaloader.exceptions.NotFoundException: context.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat_id, text="Invalid Instagram video link.") else: context.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat_id, text="Invalid Instagram video link.")

   def handle_instagram_link(update, context):     message = update.message     text = message.text          # Extract the video ID from the Instagram link     video_id = text.split('/')[-1]          if video_id:         # Create an Instaloader instance         loader = instaloader.Instaloader()                  try:             # Download the video             loader.download_video(video_id, target=f"{video_id}.mp4")                          # Send the video file as a reply             context.bot.send_video(chat_id=message.chat_id, video=open(f"{video_id}.mp4", 'rb'))         except instaloader.exceptions.NotFoundException:             context.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat_id, text="Invalid Instagram video link.")     else:         context.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat_id, text="Invalid Instagram video link.")

   
   Define the main function and set up the Telegram bot:

   def main(): # Create an updater object updater = Updater(token='YOUR_API_TOKEN', use_context=True) # Get the dispatcher to register handlers dispatcher = updater.dispatcher # Register the start function as a command handler dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start)) # Register the handle_instagram_link function as a message handler dispatcher.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text & ~Filters.command, handle_instagram_link)) # Start the bot updater.start_polling() # Run the bot until you press Ctrl-C updater.idle() if __name__ == '__main__': main()

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

   def main():     # Create an updater object     updater = Updater(token='YOUR_API_TOKEN', use_context=True)       # Get the dispatcher to register handlers     dispatcher = updater.dispatcher       # Register the start function as a command handler     dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))       # Register the handle_instagram_link function as a message handler     dispatcher.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text & ~Filters.command, handle_instagram_link))       # Start the bot     updater.start_polling()       # Run the bot until you press Ctrl-C     updater.idle()   if __name__ == '__main__':     main()

   1. Replace 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' with your actual Telegram bot API token.
   2. Save the Python script with a .py extension (e.g., instagram_bot.py).
   3. Run the script in your terminal or command prompt:
   4. python instagram_bot.py

      1	python instagram_bot.py

      
      Now, when someone sends an Instagram video link to your bot, it will download the video and send it as a reply in the Telegram chat.

      Please note that Instagram video downloading may be subject to Instagram’s terms of service, and it’s essential to use the bot responsibly and comply with any restrictions. Also, keep in mind that the instaloader library used here is a third-party library and may have limitations or restrictions based on changes in Instagram’s API.
