Instagram Bot and Web Scraper

This repository contains web scraper sample code (scrape the data from a website then save it into csv format) and my instagram bot (follow, like 3 post, comment in the first post, unfollow, direct message - automatically) using instaloader, selenium, and webdiriver.

Note: I use python 3 and Jupyter Notebook for this project.

Getting Started

Let's Install

Install Instaloader

pip3 install instaloader

Upgrade Instaloader to its current version.

pip3 install --upgrade instaloader

You can use this library to scrape many data from Instagram like post, insta story, comment, etc. So you can explore it by yourself on Istaloader website.

Install Selenium

pip3 install selenium

Check the selenium version (focus on its location, we will put WebDriver in that location).

pip3 show selenium

Download WebDriver:

• Firefox for windows geckodriver
  
• Chrome for windows chromedriver
  Extract the folder, then put it into your python installation folder (copy your selenium location).

C:\Users\moham\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32

Just visit this Selenium website for the details.
