Thank you Maurice, I use R for twitter, And i really need to be independent of commercial entreprises to do my research.

In the short term it won't help you because the learning curve it quite steep. But, if you like to code and tinker with data in general and want to be productive and independent of commercial enterprises, R is the way to go. Sorry if this almost sounds like a sales pitch. But as I said, it's for free and open source. For scraping rvest is the main package. Other relevant packages for internet-research goals can be found here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/WebTechnologies.html hope this helps Maurice On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 12:31 PM, Aysenur Ataman <aataman@gradcenter.cuny.edu<mailto:aataman@gradcenter.cuny.edu>> wrote: I’m not sure what is it you are interested in blogs and sites but with Netlytic, I believe you can scrape comments written under blog post.

Dear Anne,
Thanks for sharing the scraping tool! Instagram’s API change in 2016 was an unfortunate event for many researchers, in my opinion. I have struggled finding a work around for a very long time.
Dear Bartira, I used Netlytic <https://netlytic.org/> .It is not as robust as the method Anne suggested because I don’t know how do they do the scraping and if there is anything left out. There is a bit of a learning curve and effort you need to put to clean csv file it gives. What kind of data are you interested in? If you want to download photos please do write back. I have used medialinks Netlytic gave me to scrape photos with a script.
Best,

Hi Bartira,
I recently used the following Instagram tool/scraper: https://github. com/rarcega/instagram-scraper It allows for scraping photos for a single or multiple users, but also for hashtags. You can also retrieve metadata such as comments. It requires a bit of a technical setup to use, so if you are unfamiliar with running scripts you might need to ask someone for help. In general these are the installation instructions (which I tested and worked and which my students successfully replicated):
1. Install pip https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ 2. Install Python 2.7x https://www.python.org/do wnloads/release/python-2713/ 3. Then follow install instructions on https://github.com/rarcega/ instagram-scraper <https://github.com/rarcega/instagram-scraper> 4. If you follow the steps on the page it should work
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Anne Helmond
