Take the messages.json from your Instagram download archive and turn it to something humanly readable! InstagramJSON extracts your messages from your download archive to individual .txts with timestamps, usernames, messages and links!
The best way to get InstagramJSON is to grab a binary, download the latest release here!
If you instead want to compile InstagramJSON, you can do so by getting Rust.
Once that is installed, clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:Mnpn03/InstagramJSON.git
Then you simply build it by running cargo build --release.
macOS/Linux:
$ ./instagramjson messages.json
$ ./instagramjson messages.json -f foldername
Windows:
> instagramjson.exe messages.json
> instagramjson.exe messages.json -f foldername
