Since 2010, [Babycastles](http://babycastles.com) has been throwing great events and doing a bad job documenting them. It's hard to describe what we do without photos and videos so I'm documenting the tools and process I use to scrape social media sites for photos of our events.
Also, we're a 9 year old 501c3 non-profit run by volunteers. If you like what we do, including this, please consider making a [tax-deductable donation](https://babycastles.com/Information) so we can keep doing it!
This will save the videos & photos and save the filename with the date it was posted to instagram & the username who posted it. the files look like this "2012-10-10_02-09-30_UTC_babycastles.jpg"
