    When to Use

    Activate this skill when:

  • User shares an Instagram video URL (instagram.com/reel/, instagram.com/p/, instagram.com/tv/)
  • User asks to "download this Instagram video" or "save this IG reel"
  • User wants offline access to Instagram content
  • User needs to extract video from Instagram posts
  • How It Works

    This skill uses a Python script that connects to the savefbs.com API to fetch download links.

    Usage

    python3 scripts/fetch_ig_video.py 
    

    Example

    python3 scripts/fetch_ig_video.py "https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTpT3fIkiPr/"
    

    Output Format

    The script returns JSON with download options:

    {
      "success": true,
      "title": "Video Title",
      "author": "username",
      "thumbnail": "https://...",
      "downloads": [
        {
          "quality": "HD",
          "url": "https://...",
          "extension": "mp4",
          "size": "Unknown"
        }
      ]
    }
    

    Workflow

    1. Extract the URL: Get the Instagram video URL from the user's message 2. Run the script: Execute fetch_ig_video.py with the URL 3. Parse results: Present download options to the user 4. Provide links: Share the download URLs or offer to download directly

  • Limitations

    If the script returns "success": false, check:

  • Is the video public?
  • Is the account public or do you follow them?
  • Common error messages:
