Scrape Instagram with snscrape - web-scraping

do anybody nows how to scrape Instagram with snscrape (https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape)?
Thanks.

For hashtags, it's as easy as:
sninstagram.InstagramHashtagScraper(query).get_items()
However, at the time of writing, there is currently an issue with scrapping from Instagram, this issue is due to changes on Instagram's side. They recently overhauled their site a bit. The snscrape library has not yet been modified to adapt to the changes. You can track the issue here: https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape/issues/520

fail to crawl a dynamic loading web page using scrapy-splash

Greetings. I am new to scrapy-splash.
i try to extract car information from following webpage by using scrapy-splash
https://www.lexusserramonte.com/new-inventory/index.htm
i tried a lot, just does not work. Make no difference compared to just using scrapy without splash plugin.
Just wondering anyone can extract information from that URL? if you can, please share your code.
much much appreciate
You don't need to use splash for this task.. all you need is to reverse engineer API calls.
All the needed info on cars can be found by this link https://www.lexusserramonte.com/apis/widget/INVENTORY_LISTING_DEFAULT_AUTO_NEW:inventory-data-bus1/getInventory?compositeType=new

Wordpress panoramaic photos viewers

am working on my Wordpress website, and came to this point where i want to add panoramic photos(360 Deg) to pages and posts,I've searched for plugins and it seems there is no one can do the job properly, after a little search about tools which used for the the purpose as a whole i came to several viewers based on three.js,e.g pannellum,I've tried to upload js/css files to wp-content,then use wp_enqueue_script(),wp_enqueue_style() within function.php,and then use an iframe as demos of these tools showed, it didn't work, any help would be appreciated.
Jetpack has a built-in 360/panoramic viewer. It's a pretty unknown feature but it works amazingly. The announcement post is here: https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2016/12/15/introducing-vr-and-360-content-for-all-wordpress-com-sites/
I would also suggest you read this for detailed instructions on how to upload and implement these: https://en.support.wordpress.com/embedding-360-photos-and-virtual-reality-vr-content/

fill out search on website and screen scrape result in r

this is my first post, so if my question is too vague or not clear, please tell me so.
I'm trying to scrape a website with news-articles for a research project. But the link to the modified search on that webpage won't work, because the intranet-authentication will spit out an error.
So my idea was, that I fill out the search form and use the resulting link to scrape the website.
Since my boss likes to work with R, he would like me to write an R-skript to do so, but I have no idea how to and haven't found anything working.
You need two packages: RCurl and XML.
The RCurl package is used for internet browsing. It can access HTML forms with _GET or _PUT arguments. So, with it you can login or fill out the any form.
The output from the server would be in HTML. If you want to grep the links, you can use XLM package. I helps to get any data form XML format.
But before start, you have to find out that is the search form in webpage (and that arguments should be used). The Firefox browser could be useful. You need two add-ins: Live HTTP header and Firebug. With those add-ins you can inspect webpage much more easier.
I know that it did not solve you problem, but I could not say any more, since it deepens on particular situation and webpage structure. I believe that the tool I have mentioned is quite enough to achieve that you want.
Bet regards.

Adding Tweets of people I follow in Drupal website

So I am developing a website using drupal. And I want to create a view of twitter tweets that a posted by me and by people i follow on twitter. I tried to use Twitter module. But with this module I can see only my own tweets. If I want to add tweets from other account, I have to manually add the account under twitter settings. I would really appreciate if anyone knows how to do it. Thanks in advance.
I found this for showing a user's timeline : http://webwash.net/tutorials/how-display-tweets-using-embedded-timelines-drupal-7
Is that what you want? I hope so!
Probably this is what you are looking for: Twitter streaming
