Getting resources folder of a web site in java

Question

I'm developing an app to download a photo from instagram, for example: if I put this uri on the app https://www.instagram.com/p/BASqNR9wrKp/ it download the image on my computer. What I would like to achieve now is to pass the link of the instagram page (for instance: https://www.instagram.com/microsoft/?hl=it) and download all the photos on that page, how can I achieve that ?

I thought I could access those images from the instagram's Frames folder but I don't know how to do that, some can help me ? any advice ? That's an image of the folder i'm trying to access via java.

What you need there is called a Web Crawler. The simplest I can think of in Java is Crawler4J and, for your specific case, their Image Crawler

so i cannot access the folder directly ? – Levenlol Jan 13 '16 at 16:26
It is not really a folder, the browser just shows the grouped images. – Juan Pablo Morales Jan 13 '16 at 19:07
and where does it get those images from ? – Levenlol Jan 14 '16 at 15:21
They are referenced from the following sources: 1) The HTML file 2) The loaded CSS file 3) The loaded javascript files. Most of the time they will be obtained from the same server that has the webpage (Instagram's in this case). – Juan Pablo Morales Jan 15 '16 at 12:30
