Using InstaLoader in Python module

I am trying to download photos related to a hashtag for image analysis using Instaloader. I found a comprehensive way in GitHub repository, how to execute it in Terminal. However, I need to integrate the script in Python notebook.

Here is the script: $ instaloader --no-videos --no-metadata-json --no-captions "#streetart"

I tried this:

import instaloader
loader = instaloader.Instaloader()
loader.download_hashtag('amg', max_count=20)

But I could not find a way to filter the results to return pictures only as output. Can anybody help me please?

Many thanks in advance.
