There's a showterm of the usage if want to see imgdownloader in action.

Currently, there are three providers: flickr, instagram, and picasa. You specify provider via -from parameter. Since getting list of images from providers involves calling provider's REST API, you need to provide client credentials for imgdownloader in imgdownloader.json either in current directory or your $HOME directory with following format:

{
	"flickr": {
		"api_key": "YOUR_FLICKR_API_KEY"
	},
	"instagram": {
		"access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
	},
	"picasa": {
		"": ""
	}
}

To get Instagram's access_token you can use ginsta:

$ go get github.com/gedex/ginsta
$ ginsta token_get # Open localhost:8080 In your browser

Currently you need to specify picasa config as a placeholder so that the config reader doesn't returns an error.
