Usage

Run the main.py script to download media files:

By default, the script will download media files from 2000-01-01 to the current date and save them in the ./photos directory. You can change the start date, end date, media directory, and log directory by modifying the main() function call in the if __name__ == "__main__" block at the end of the main.py file.
