Description

Instagram Crawler is a python module for crawling Instagram data.

⚠️ If you access more than a certain number of posts on Instagram, the posts are no longer loaded. Therefore, about 100 to 300 posts can be crawled.

Install

Simply run :

pip install -r requirements.txt

---

You can also install additional dependencies (for running examples, generating documentation, etc...) with : ⚠️ Python ≥ 3.6 required

Get Started

The full documentation contains more detailed tutorials, but to get a taste of the framework, you can take a look at the examples folder.
Let's look at the easy example, bart_easy.py. You can run the example with following command :

$ python3 main.py --id=[user_id] \
  --password=['user_password']\
  --hash_tag=[hash_tag] \
  --display=[0 or 1] \
  --extract_num=[extract_num: int] \
  --login_option=[instagram or facebook] \
  --extract_file=[file name] \
  --extract_tag_file=[tag file name] \
  --driver_path=[chromedriver path]
