AlexKVal / instagram-scraper

scrapes medias, likes, followers, tags and all metadata. Inspired by instagram-php-scraper

instagram_scaper

A minimalistic instagram scraper wrote in python. fetch medias, accounts, videos, comments and more. Comment and Like action also supported. It is very hard to get Applications approved for Instagrams API therefore I created this tool inspired by instagram-php-scraper.

The goal of this project is to become as minimalistic as possible while still having all needed functionalities so that its easy to add code to it!

**Any star or contribution is appreciated if you like to project ~** 🤘

install

Simply run:

pip install igramscraper

or download the project via git clone and run the following:

pip install -r require.txt

usages

Some methods do require authentication:

from igramscraper.instagram import Instagram

instagram = Instagram()

# authentication supported
instagram = Instagram.with_credentials('username', 'password')
instagram.login()

account = instagram.get_account_by_id(3)
# Available fields
print('Account info:')
print('Id', account.identifier)
print('Username', account.username)
print('Full name', account.full_name)
print('Biography', account.biography)
print('Profile pic url', account.get_profile_pic_url_hd())
print('External Url', account.external_url)
print('Number of published posts', account.media_count)
print('Number of followers', account.followed_by_count)
print('Number of follows', account.follows_count)
print('Is private', account.is_private)
print('Is verified', account.is_verified)
# or simply for printing use 
print(account)

If you use authentication the program will cache the user session by default so one doesn't need to create session everytime.
If one want to disable the user session cache, assign True to Instagram.login() method

Two Factor Authentification is also supported through cli interface, simply use 'True' for second argument of login() function

Many of the methods do not require authentication

Using proxy for requests:

from igramscraper.instagram import Instagram 

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://123.45.67.8:1087',
    'https': 'http://123.45.67.8:1087',
}

instagram = Instagram()
instagram.set_proxies(proxies)

account = instagram.get_account('kevin')
print(account.identifier)
