Notes on collections

• instagram saved without --collection returns the unsegmented "All posts" bucket (same as the original behaviour).
• With --collection <name> it resolves the name to an id via /api/v1/collections/list/, then fetches /api/v1/feed/collection/{id}/posts/. Match is case-insensitive after trimming. An unknown name throws an error that lists the available names.
• instagram collection-create <name> calls POST /api/v1/collections/create/ with a multipart name field. Instagram silently accepts duplicate names — the API just returns a new collection_id each time, so dedupe client-side if you care.
• instagram collection-delete <name-or-id> calls POST /api/v1/collections/{id}/delete/. Pass either a case-insensitive collection name or a numeric collection_id. If the name resolves to multiple collections (e.g. duplicates from collection-create), the adapter throws and lists the candidate ids so you can disambiguate by passing the id explicitly. Unknown names list the available collections in the error message.
• Saving an existing post directly into a named collection in one shot is not exposed by the web app's documented endpoints (/api/v1/web/save/{pk}/save/ only writes to "All posts"). Use instagram save first, then move the post in the UI, or extend with the /api/v1/collections/{id}/edit/ mutation.
