title: Download 1 week data from instaloader
body: <p>When we download data from instagram, it scans the entire posts of the account even when you provide a time window(it will skip the dates older but will still scan the whole history) through the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>instaloader --login=username
  --password=password
  --post-metadata-txt="{likes} likes, {comments} comments." 
  --post-filter="date_utc &gt;= datetime(2019, 12, 31) and not is_video" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is very inefficient. I am wondering is there any more efficient way to download data?</p>
