Hello guys, in this video I'll show you
0:02
how I built out an Instagram video and
0:04
reels downloader PHP script
0:07
inside browser using HTML, CSS, and
0:09
JavaScript. So, actually this is a full
0:12
directory structure of the PHP project.
0:14
It's a single-page application. These
0:16
are all the files which are required. If
0:19
you're interested in this project, you
0:20
can directly purchase the source code.
0:22
The link is given in the description.
0:24
So, after you purchase it, you will
0:25
automatically get redirected to Google
0:27
Drive where you will get all the files.
0:30
This is We are running this project
0:32
locally here using XAMPP control panel,
0:34
and it's really easy for you to deploy
0:36
this as well.
0:38
So, this is the
0:39
address here. This is the
0:42
front-end.html file here. So, this is
0:45
the user interface. So, right here in
0:47
this URL section, you will paste
0:49
whatever video reel you want to
0:51
download.
0:52
So, you simply copy the address. So,
0:53
it's Instagram reel right here, and you
0:56
paste it the address.
0:58
Click download video. So, now the actual
1:01
request will happen in the
1:03
We are processing it, and once it
1:05
reaches 100%, your video will get
1:07
downloaded.
1:09
So, you will see automatically
1:11
you can now play this video. It's
1:13
automatically saved inside your
1:16
You can see that. So, it's automatically
1:18
downloaded, and you can do this
1:20
unlimited number of time. There is no
1:22
limit to it because we are simply
1:24
fetching the download links once you
1:26
submit the URL.
1:29
So, again you copy the link address. Let
1:31
me try it with a different one. Click
1:33
download. Again, this processing message
1:36
will happen, and it will just take 5 to
1:38
10 seconds for fetching the links.
1:42
And you will see that
1:44
again, it downloads as an MP4 video
1:46
file, so which you can play.
1:49
So, it will save you a lot of time if
1:51
you're looking forward for building an
1:53
Instagram video and reels downloader
1:55
application in PHP. This will be a good
1:57
starting point, and you will also be
1:58
getting to know how I coded this.
2:01
So, we are not using any sort of API
2:03
key. It's totally free method that I
2:06
used to actually build it from scratch.
2:09
So, it's perfectly working as I
2:11
you can see right here.
2:15
Let me take another reel or video for
2:17
example.
2:22
So, you can just see here there is no
2:24
limit. You can do this unlimited number
2:26
of times.
2:28
So, you simply paste the link, and after
2:31
that automatically the video will get
2:33
downloaded. So,
2:35
it's entirely built inside PHP, and
2:38
it's also very easy for you to deploy
2:40
this if you have a custom domain or any
2:42
sort of shared hosting. You can easily
2:44
deploy all these files. Simply upload
2:47
all these files,
2:48
and this is the
2:51
front-end.html file. So, this is the
2:53
user interface file, so where the
2:55
you will actually see this user
2:57
interface where the user will submit the
3:00
link.
3:06
So, as they submit the link here, the
3:09
processing will happen.
3:18
Under the hood, we are actually calling
3:20
the
3:21
Instagram API to actually fetch these
3:24
download links and automatically
3:27
download the video file. So, you can see
3:30
this is the front-end.html file here.
3:37
So, it's actually calling this index.php
3:40
file here. You can see.
3:42
As soon as the user submits, we are
3:44
calling this index.php file here. This
3:46
is the main file
3:48
for the processing of this video.
3:51
You can see that. So, it's almost
3:53
700 lines of code. So, I written this
3:56
line by line, so
3:58
it will save you a lot of time because
4:00
if you're looking forward for a perfect
4:02
method, so this is the script. And
4:07
these are again some of the files here
4:09
which are there.
4:11
So,
4:13
this is a complete project step by step.
4:15
You can even customize this and add
4:17
additional features as well. So, if you
4:19
still face any problem in deployment or
4:21
running the project, you can email me
4:23
after the payment. I will definitely
4:25
help you.
4:26
But, essentially this is the Instagram
4:29
reels and downloader project in PHP.
4:32
And if you are interested in this,
4:36
you can safely purchase this project.
4:39
You can see that. So,
