Scraping Social Media!
Looking for advice on scraping social media platforms (Beginner)
Hi everyone,
I'm still pretty new to web scraping and currently trying to learn by scraping different social media platforms.
So far, I've managed to get YouTube and TikTok working, but I'm completely stuck with Instagram. The furthest I get is the Instagram landing page, where the Instagram logo just keeps loading, and I can't seem to get past it.
I'm not looking for someone to do it for me—I'd really like to understand what's happening and learn how to approach these kinds of problems.
If anyone has experience with this or is working on similar projects, I'd love to exchange ideas and learn from each other. I'd also be happy to share my code for the YouTube and TikTok scrapers if it could be useful in return.
Since I'm still a beginner, any advice, tips, or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
