How to Archive Instagram Posts (pizzagate)

submitted ago by IShallNotFear

Recently, the question came up about how to archive Instagram posts. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2862992/15133902 Currently, Instagram is set up so it can't be archived by archive.is, web.archive.org, or any of the search engine cache sites. However, there is a workaround. Many websites mirror Instagram in real-time or at a slight delay. You can then archive an Instagram post from one of those sites. Since the pizzagate thread above mentioned nununu clothing, I thought I would check how some of these sites differed by using the most recent nununu post: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXg4nnn8Zm/.

For each site I compared the URL ending from the original Instagram post to the mirror site. The sites where the URL has the same ending are helpful for quickly archiving older posts. Most mirrors require finding the username or hashtag and scrolling through until you find the correct post. I also tried to see which mirrors supported the multi-picture posts, like this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXg4nnn8Zm/. That URL is not listed in the chart, but my findings on whether or not the mirror supports it are.

The number of comments that appeared alongside each post was consistent for most sites. However, some sites showed different numbers of comments for each post. The posts with a greater number of comments showed more, but still not all the comments appeared.

Based on the chart, here are my picks. Overall, inkphy.com is the best. It is the only site that archives multi-photo posts and has matching URL suffixes. It only comes 1 short of the highest number of comments shown. If you need to archive who liked a post then go with Picsoro.com.

Feel free to post in the comments any other mirror sites you find.

This could be quite useful, thanks.

Speaking of archiving Instagram, I have a question. Does anybody have an archive of the kevinheggs photo where Alefantis commented "nice"?

IShallNotFear ago

Is this what you are looking for? WARNING: Very NSFW http://archive.fo/aoUT4 I found it in the comment section here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1755329/8598183 This was back when Instagram allowed direct archives.

Factfinder2 ago

Thank you for this review. Can you also provide a step-by-step of how to actually accomplish the archiving?

Also needed here is a guide for how to archive You Tube videos.

IShallNotFear ago

Hi FactFinder2, I just added a step-by-step instruction guide in an edit to the post. Let me know if it is too complicated.

Factfinder2 ago

Well done--easy to follow instructions. Much appreciated.

@IShallNotFear: I am going to sticky this post a couple of days, so that it will get some more traction. :-)

IShallNotFear ago

Thank you! I always am humbled when people think highly of my posts.

Thank you so much, IShallNotFear! :-)

Folks, have you seen this post? @MolochHunter @EricKaliberhall @Factfinder2 @darkknight111 @letsdothis2

Great thread, Ishallnotfear. I'm giving this our ProTip flair. These skills are essential to documenting PG, since these corrupt mega rich are all too skilled at weaponizing attorneys to protect themselves via the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Well done!

Will you make a Link post to this thread in v/pizzagtemods and v/AskPizzagate as well to make it easy to find for people?

Also, folks this is a good time to notice the "Save" button right after the number of comments (click the "..." to expand all buttons). Anything you mark "Save" will be accessible in your Saved Items window, which is a tab on your Profile page. :-)

Here are the cross-posts. I will go and cross-post my old Twitter Archive post into AskPizzagate as well. https://voat.co/v/pizzagatemods/2870438 https://voat.co/v/AskPizzagate/2870439

Excellent! :-)

You Sweet-Thang, awsome list. Unfortunately I understand very little of it, I'm 15 yrs. behind everyone else in internet skills. Unless someone can give me tech-tard instructions on how to use one of these sites I'm still not going to archive instagram, maybe somebody else will step up and do those.

IShallNotFear ago

I added instructions. Let me know if they are too complicated.

shewhomustbeobeyed ago

Simply wonderful, thank you.

NOMOCHOMO ago

Thank you so much. I, literally, just ran into this problem trying to archive a Pedo's instagram before posting it on here. God Bless.

carmencita ago

Thanks for posting. I just had to add this. One of the pics on there with Jolie and someone calling her out about her being a vampire

Thanks for all the archiving you have done for all of us. You are amazing.

IShallNotFear ago

Here is the archive. http://archive.is/IPifP In my edit, I did a step-by-step on how I got it.

carmencita ago

Ugh. Looking at it again, that one boy on the left he looks like he is headed the tranny way. Another grooming taking place. The one;s name has the initials MK. The other may be Moch short for Moloch. Mostly every comment calls her out for what she is. A Satanist and a Child Stealer. Thank You.

carmencita ago

Thank You!

Awesome. Hopefully we can archive these images before nununu deletes them.
