[Air-L] Have Instagram data

15 Nov 2017

      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
