The InstagramLoaction class is not pulling any information from the location data, all the return values are coming back as None. When I tested the URL it takes me to the tagged location but it seems InstagramLoaction class is not returning any of the information.

I'm glad I found your project, very cool.
Please make the implementation of the methods:

1. Upload photos with description and geolocation
2. Downloads from Instagram via a short link

README seems pretty outdated. I had to read the core code to figure out how to use the package.

Here is just an example:

# Connecting the profile
 user = InstagramUser(uname, os.environ.get("INSTAGRAM_SESSIONID"))
# get user data
hls = user.user_data
# get high level stats such as followers, following, total_posts
followers, following, total_posts = hls['edge_followed_by']['count'], hls['edge_follow']['count'], hls["edge_owner_to_timeline_media"]["count"]
print("followers, following, total_posts = ", followers, following, total_posts)

it is not scraping more than 12 posts .how to scrap??

It was working before one month.. I dont know what happened now..
from instagramy import InstagramPost

post = InstagramPost('CLGkNCoJkcM')

File ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\instagramy\InstagramPost.py:67 in init
post_id, data["entry_data"]["PostPage"][0]["graphql"]["shortcode_media"]

I was using this post as a reference- "https://www.instagram.com/p/CNrtoeOp_Et/"

Given caption= Photo shared by LLuvia Bakery on April 15, 2021 tagging @yogisthaan, @healthybuddhaorganic, @studioalaya_proj, fabcafe.in, @masmaracrafts, @Pronatureorganic, @ping_this, and @madansolanki10. May be an image of 5 people and text.

Original caption= It's been a long journey and we have nothing else filling our hearts today except gratitude.
Gratitude for the support and love and patience that everyone in the entire small business ecosystem has showered on us in the last few years. Nothing more to be said , just deep felt Thanks.

Would it be possible to include the post text when scraping user posts? I'm interested in grabbing the number of hashtags used over the last X (say 12) posts. For example, say over the last 12 posts, on average there are 5 hashtags used per post. If the Post object included the post text, I think I could get what I'm looking for. This isn't really an issue, more of a request or suggestion for your consideration.

Is there a way to use instagramy with a proxy?

I am getting the error when reproducing the example.

from instagramy import InstagramPost

post = InstagramPost('CLGkNCoJkcM', sessionid=session_id)

analyze_user_post returns an issue in which it says that a tuple cannot be accessed as a dictionary is. I fixed the problem by editing the for loop as such (i did not have a use for post_url in my code, but it can be edited the same way.

Hi,

I think Instagram changed something again.

I am using this code:

from instagramy import InstagramPost
sessionid='MYSESSIONID3AXFvgRizsd7NJNR%3A26'
code= 'CLt6RG7pfqk'
post= InstagramPost(code, sessionid = sessionid)

error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/john/python-code/webAPI/social_media/proj/qa/instaloot.py", line 4, in <module>
    post= InstagramPost(code, sessionid = sessionid)
  File "/home/john/.virtualenvs/some_proj/lib/python3.8/site-packages/instagramy/InstagramPost.py", line 56, in __init__
    raise RedirectionError
instagramy.core.exceptions.RedirectionError: Instagram Redirects you to login page, Try After Sometime or Reboot your PC Provide the sessionid to Login

I tried debugging a bit and I think it has to do with the parsing. PostPage is empty inside the dict returned by urllopen, but when I look at the post I see data for the right post, so I am guessing it's the parsing.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about HTML-parsing to fix it myself.

Hello Yogeshwarn!

Thank you for your work!
I would like to use your scraper in my research to analyze museums visibility and how it translates to increase of museums visitors in Italy. As I understood, you updated some packages 8 days ago, however, still I have some problems.
Unfortunately, I have an error using InstagramPost and user.posts_display_urls




(see attached).

Thank you again and have a nice day!

Generates key errors, relevant json is moved.
my tests:

import instagramy

hashtag = “…..”
post_id =. “…..”
user = “….”

ig_session_id = “….”

t = instagramy.InstagramHashTag(hashtag)
Error Info: <class 'KeyError'>: 'TagPage'

worked correctly for some days without login, now generates this error

t = instagramy.InstagramHashTag(hashtag, sessionid=ig_session_id)
Error Info: <class 'KeyError'>: 'graphql'

p = instagramy.InstagramPost(post_id, sessionid=ig_session_id)
Error Info: <class 'KeyError'>: 'graphql'

I think relevant post data moved to script block: window.__additionalDataLoaded

u = instagramy.InstagramUser(user, sessionid=ig_session_id)

this works correctly

facing error on running the following query:

"from instagramy import InstagramUser
user = InstagramUser("github")
user.number_of_followers"

Hi, I was trying to scrap all the posts from a certain account, but any time the limit of the posts shown is set to 12.
It would be convenient to get all the posts.

When I execute this code:

from instagramy import InstagramHashTag
tag_latest = InstagramHashTag("my_hashtag", sessionid="my_session_id")

I receive the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     61             )

KeyError: 'graphql'

Apparently this graphql key doesn't exist inside the object data["entry_data"]["TagPage"][0].

raise AttributeError(f"module 'pandas' has no attribute '{name}'")

Well, since some days, it doesnt work anymore. Everytime i try to run the programm with simple aaccounts like google, it gives me the following error as output:

raise UsernameNotFound(self.url.split("/")[-2])
instagramy.core.exceptions.UsernameNotFound: InstagramUser('google') not Found

I am doing an API on flask that gets instagram hashtag posts. My problem is that when I run the flask application locally, it works fine. However when I host it on Azures web service or python anywhere, I keep on getting an internal server error. Has anyone faced this issue?
