Hi Jeff, A couple of years ago I wrote this blog post about collecting data from a number of online channels (including Instagram), and then gathering them into one single database. I use it once a year to collect data for an annual online project - the last time I used it was July 2019, and it work fine then. It requires use of the Zapier service. This has a free tier your colleague could try out, but if they want to collect data in any sort of volume they will need a paid account. http://harkive.org/datcolzap/ Kind regards Craig Dr Craig Hamilton Research Fellow Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Birmingham City University, 5 Cardigan Street, Birmingham, B4 7BD - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Website: http://www.popmusicresearch.org <http://www.popmusicresearch.org/> Twitter: @craigfots <https://twitter.com/craigfots> Phone: +44 (0) 7740358162 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Co-Managing Editor, Riffs - http://riffsjournal.org <http://riffsjournal.org/> Founder, The Harkive Project - http://harkive.org <http://harkive.org/> Project Coordinator, Songwriting Studies Research Network - https://songwritingstudies.com <https://songwritingstudies.com/> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On 29/04/2020, 09:08, "Air-L on behalf of Jeff McCarthy" <air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org on behalf of jeff.mccarthy@mmu.ac.uk> wrote: Hi Does anyone have any experience and/or knowledge of ways to scrape Instagram posts? My colleague is looking to gather data on Insta posts from specific user accounts in specific timeframes. It's part of the next phase of her PhD.
