Maintainer note: I cannot help with hacking accounts, stealing passwords, or bypassing account ownership. Use Instagram official recovery/security flows. instagrapi should only be used with accounts you own or are authorized to automate. |

(instagrapi) (base) xxx@MacBook-Air-von-xxx examples % I am having troubles to authenticate when running python3 download_all_medias.py from the /examples folder. I checked the whole documentation several times but I couldn´t find any option where to add ig username and ig password except as command line arguments when running the script download_all_medias.py. Where to I need to set up the credentials such as ig username, ig password, eventually api key etc.?
