Could you build this?

Partial The frontend is a basic form, but reliably extracting and downloading Instagram media requires continuous maintenance against Instagram's strict anti-scraping, bot detection, rate limits, and private API changes.

What it would actually take: The core engine requires a backend running headless browsers or reverse-engineered private GraphQL/mobile Instagram endpoints, orchestrating rotating residential proxy pools to bypass Meta's aggressive rate-limiting and challenge pages. It typically utilizes specialized tools like yt-dlp or custom scrapers with frequent patching to adapt to Instagram DOM/API changes. The non-trivial challenge is operating reliable scraping infrastructure at scale without having IP pools instantly banned.
