Followers crawling #29

Open InesArous opened 6 years ago

InesArous commented 6 years ago

Hi guys, I was able to crawl followers on Instagram after modifying some lines in the intagramcrawler.py. Now, I am facing a problem when the number of followers is over 1000: The crawler scrolls down the followers page but the page freezes in a loading phase so after some time the crawler simply quits the query. Have you faced this issue before? If so how to fix it?

Could I ask what you altered in the code to get it working?

Do you mean, you can crawl for followers as constraint? Actually, if this script would allow pure SQL or Hadoop, it would be much more useful.

e.g. -q "select top 100000 from instagram.photos order by num_follows instargram.follower"

Or something like that.

Anyways maybe that's not how a crawler works, but it would be very cool B-)
