Dear Aysenur,

Thanks too for Sharring the Netlytic. Im interested in comments about politics. Im researching electoral behavior in Brazil and Instagram is growing fastly here.

Do you have a indication for blogs and sites?

There is a bit of a learning curve and effort you need to put to clean csv file it gives. What kind of data are you interested in? If you want to download photos please do write back. I have used medialinks Netlytic gave me to scrape photos with a script.
