[Air-L] Scraping from Instagram

[Liam Pomfret]

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

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!

Hi Liam,
Have you tried the Nvivo plug in called Ncapture? 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

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.
