Download public Instagram media — demo UI

Paste an Instagram post / reel / story URL below. This frontend sends the URL to your backend which must fetch the media and return JSON with download links. Important: ensure you comply with Instagram's Terms of Service and copyright law.

How it works (frontend)

1. User pastes URL and clicks Fetch.
2. Frontend POSTs to /api/fetch with JSON { url, prefer_hd }.
3. Backend validates URL, scrapes provider or uses official API, responds with JSON { items: [{type, thumbnail, download_url, filename, mime}] }.
4. Frontend shows previews and a Download button (opens download_url).

This repo is a starter frontend only. Below (commented) is a small Node/Express example for the backend.

Made for learning — adapt responsibly. The backend is required to actually fetch media. This template does not bypass paywalls, private profiles, or DRM.
