Package Exports

instagram-scraping

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (instagram-scraping) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

instagram-tagscrape

NodeJS module for loading posts from Instagram by hashtag, individual post pages and locationpages without API access by means of scraping.

Disclamer

Instagram has gone to great lengths to prevent scraping and other unauthorized access to their public content. This module is dependant on the markup the public-facing instagram.com. Should that change this module might also stop working as intended. It also only loads the 17 posts that are displayed on first-load without following pagination to load more images. You should take this into consideration when deciding whether this module will work for you.

Installation

npm install instagram-scraper

Usage

The most basic usage will allow you to load the first 17 posts for any given hashtag with basic info and URLs to the full post media.

Tage page scraping

var ig = require('instagram-scraper');

ig.scrapeTag('veranda').then(function(result){
    console.dir(result);
})
