How to parse Instagram post text by username?
You need to parse the text of Instagram posts. At the moment, I have implemented using this video to enter through the login password and follow the link to the desired username, but I don’t understand how to proceed. How can I get the text of all posts from the page and is it possible at all? I am attaching the code.
Thank you very much in advance!
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
username = USERNAME
password = PASSWORD
class InstagramBot:
def __init__(self, username, password):
self.username = username
self.password = password
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
def classBrowser(self):
self.driver.close()
def login(self):
driver = self.driver
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com")
time.sleep(2)
login_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@href='/accounts/login/?source=auth_switcher']")
login_button.click()
time.sleep(2)
user_name_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name='username']")
user_name_elem.clear()
user_name_elem.send_keys(self.username)
password_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name='password']")
password_elem.clear()
password_elem.send_keys(self.password)
password_elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(2)
def get_posts(self, hashtag):
driver = self.driver
driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/" + hashtag + "/")
time.sleep(2)
andreyIG = InstagramBot(username, password)
andreyIG.login()
andreyIG.get_posts('cats_of_instagram')
