Hello all, I'm currently involved in a project looking at consumer responses to social marketing campaigns in social media. I've been asked to try and scrape some data from Instagram relating to a campaign account and hashtag (likes, text of comments, etc), however I'm not having much luck in doing that. It seems like a recent Instagram site redesign may have broken a number of the tools that would've been effective previously. Was just wondering if anyone here might be able to point me towards something which is still working? If possible, preferably something that can be used effectively without the user having a lot of knowledge or skill at programming. Kind regards, Liam Pomfret _______________________________________________________ Liam Pomfret l PhD Student l UQ Business School The University of Queensland l Brisbane QLD 4072 l AUSTRALIA E: l.pomfret@business.uq.edu.au | T: @LiamPomfret | W: https://business.uq.edu.au
Just a suggestion... I use TweetArchivist.com for pulling Twitter hashtag data. They also have a related tool called Tag Sleuth that tracks hashtags across platforms. Though I haven't used it yet, it might be worth a try. Both have an initial free trial period then a monthly fee. Good luck! ~~Lisa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lisa M. Heinz PhD Student E.W.

Thanks Lauri and Lisa, We played around with Ncapture earlier in the project while looking at other social media platforms. Unfortunately, it doesn't support capturing data from Instagram. Thanks for the heads up on Tag Sleuth Lisa. I used the desktop version of TweetArchivist myself, but I wasn't familiar with this tool. Unfortunately, we're looking here to analyse a campaign that's already been run, rather than one that's currently in progress, so Tag Sleuth doesn't really fit our needs. I'll certainly be keeping that one in the tool box for future use however! Cheers, Liam _______________________________________________________ Liam Pomfret l PhD Student l UQ Business School The University of Queensland l Brisbane QLD 4072 l AUSTRALIA E: l.pomfret@business.uq.edu.au | T: @LiamPomfret | W: https://business.uq.edu.au -----Original Message----- From: Heinz, Lisa [mailto:ls144009@ohio.edu] Sent: Thursday, 15 October 2015 10:38 AM To: Liam Pomfret Cc: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Scraping from Instagram Just a suggestion...

They say that it can do it. I have not used it with instagram specifically, but I have used it on facebook scraping with fantastic success, such as better than anything else.. Here's an unofficial guidebook: guidelines Goodluck, Lauri

Hi Liam I have just recently tested the Instagram-R-package from Pablo Barbera and it worked. It's still under development, but all the basic API functions are working. You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/pablobarbera/instaR Cheers Adrian -----"Air-L" <air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org> schrieb: ----- An: "air-l@listserv.aoir.org" <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Von: Liam Pomfret Gesendet von: "Air-L" Datum: 15.10.2015 02:26 Betreff: [Air-L] Scraping from Instagram Hello all, I'm currently involved in a project looking at consumer responses to social marketing campaigns in social media.
