instalyzer

Instagram Profile and Post Scraper and Sentiment Analyzer.

The original Selenium-based scraper relied on fragile CSS selectors which no longer work with modern versions of Instagram. A new instaloader based scraper is provided which interacts with Instagram's official endpoints and is therefore more stable.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• instaloader library (pip install instaloader)

Usage

Run instaloader_scraper.py to download profile information and posts:

python instaloader_scraper.py

You will be prompted for a profile username and a JSON file containing the collected data will be created in the current directory.
