InstashScrapper

A badly named project

The objective of this project is to provide a wrapper-like server with some historization capacity around Instagrapi, a Python library to use the Instagram Private API. Let's query hashtags !

Getting Started

First, install dependencies :

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, start your server !

python3 -m flask run

Database access

Data is stored inside a Database (really ?), so you need to provide some credentials, which you can find in the config file.

You can use the docker-compose file to start a TimescaleDB database.

Database versioning

To apply database migrations, simply use flask :

python3 -m flask db upgrade
