New feature request: Navigate new Explore page for web version. #92

Open digitizesuccess opened 1 year ago

digitizesuccess commented 1 year ago

When using the hashtag utility, IG now only posts the top 12-13 tags on the web version of the Explore Page. However, they have added a new Explore Page where the hashtag isn't used. For instance, #Denver displays only 12 posts out of over 14,000,000, but Denver works like the old Explore page where you can keep moving through them. Can we get a new function that allows the bot to navigate through that page as opposed to the hashtag page? Or in conjunction with it?

Yeah, this is a critical change IG recently made. And it would fail the flow..

Szymok commented 11 months ago

+1, it would be great

This is the path that allows infinite posts:

https://www.instagram.com/explore/search/keyword/?q=<keyword here or tag>

@shine-jayakumar was that URL implemented? I can see it in the code but I don't know which parameter to use. I am trying to like posts of a tag or location.

shine-jayakumar commented 9 months ago

/explore/search/keyword/?q= doesn't work. The current url /explore/tags/ does work but it only shows top n posts. It doesn't load other posts upon scrolling down. Instagram changed the way hashtags work. Therefore, I've marked tags as deprecated for now, but if you find a way to explore tags do let me know.

@shine-jayakumar It works for me and it has infinite scroll:

@ap0l0 Interesting. It doesn't seem to work for me. I tried a different account too. Some region restriction?

Interesting, did you try with another keyword? or try going to https://www.instagram.com/explore/search/ to see what loeads, and which keywords at the top

That function has infinite scroll

ap0l0 commented 9 months ago

@shine-jayakumar does it work when you get keywords from your account? I tried with two other accounts and it seems to work
