How to

insta_hashtag_crawler is shipped with a very simple command line tool
and this is what you are going to mostly make the use of.

You can start crawling immediately on your shell with:

insta-crawl your-hashtag

This command will generates a series of csv formatted data in your
"current working directory". csv file name will be: ${hashtag}yyyymmdd(${number}).csv

Optional Arguments

  • [--dir] [-d]
    You can set the directory where crawling results will be generated
    by using [--dir] [-d] option.
    The [--dir] options can take an absolute or relative path as an argument.
insta-crawl --dir /some/path/to/dir hashtag
insta-crawl --dir some/relative/path hashtag
  • [--quiet] [-q]
    Turn on the [--quiet] [-q] flag if you want to mute the crawling logs,
    which by default are directed to the stdout. This option will redirect any logs to OS-relevant dev/null.
