instagram_scraper

This is a minimalistic Instagram scraper written in Python.

It can fetch media, accounts, videos, comments etc. Comment and Like actions are also supported.

It is not easy to get Applications approved for Instagram's API therefore I created this tool inspired by instagram-php-scraper.

The goal of this project is to become as minimalistic as possible while still having all the needed functionality so that its easy to add code to it!

Any
