Open source: Instagram Analyzer

#showdew #opensource #python #webdev

instagram-analyzer is an application written in Python that analyzes geotags using reverse geocoding in user's Instagram photos and videos.

It provides the data of specific locations, countries and cities you've visited so far, as well as how many times and which Instagram posts match the location.

I want to hear feedback, good or bad, so please go check it out!
Thanks

What it does

📍Store all instagram media data 📷

Application loads all user's instagram media and saves it in JSON format. This data includes all media metadata, including likes, location, tagged users, comments, image url-s ...

📍Store all instagram location data 📊

Analyzes geotags and saves locations in JSON forma. This data includes occurrence for each location as well as image and instagram media url-s ...

📍Store all instagram countries and cities location data

Countries and cities are additionally analyzed using reverse geocoding with LocationIQ API. Data is saved in JSON files.

📍Prints occurrences for location, country and city ✈️

You have visited 99 different locations
You have visited 7  different countries
You have visited 32 different cities

Print table view of most visited location, countries and cities 🌍

For example, when executed for nejckorasa print for countries looks like this:

Countries: 

+------+-----------------+-------------+
| rank | country         | occurrences |
+------+-----------------+-------------+
|  1   | Slovenia        |     51      |
+------+-----------------+-------------+
|  2   | The Netherlands |     12      |
+------+-----------------+-------------+
|  3   | Spain           |      8      |
+------+-----------------+-------------+
|  4   | Poland          |      8      |
+------+-----------------+-------------+
|  5   | Russia          |      7      |
+------+-----------------+-------------+
|  6   | Croatia         |      7      |
+------+-----------------+-------------+
|  7   | Hungary         |      6      |
+------+-----------------+-------------+

Similar tables are printed for specific locations and cities.

Install

To install instagram-analyzer:

$ pip install instagram-analyzer

To update instagram-analyzer:

$ pip install instagram-analyzer --upgrade

Usage

Once installed, import it, configure it and run it:

from instagram_analyzer import InstaAnalyzer

InstaAnalyzer(
    insta_token='<INSTAGRAM_TOKEN_HERE>',
    location_iq_token='<LOCATION_IQ_TOKEN_HERE>').run()

Before you run it, see Configuration & Options

Configuration & Options

Acquire Tokens

Acquire Instagram Access Token

Go to Pixelunion, generate token, don't forget the token!

Acquire Location IQ Access Token

Go to Location IQ, sign up, get the token, don't forget the token!

Configure and run

Create InstaAnalyzer instance with token values.

analyzer = InstaAnalyzer(
    insta_token='<INSTAGRAM_TOKEN_HERE>',
    location_iq_token='<LOCATION_IQ_TOKEN_HERE>')
analyzer.read_media_from_file = False
analyzer.run()

Once instagram media data is stored in JSON, you can read it from there, instead of loading it again via Instagram API (API is limited to 200 request per hour). Set analyzer.read_media_from_file = True

Options

location_iq_token is optional. If not set only basic location analysis will be run and saved to file.
Once InstaAnalyzer has been run all data is available to access:

# Configure InstaAnalyzer
analyzer = InstaAnalyzer(
    insta_token='<INSTAGRAM_TOKEN_HERE>',
    location_iq_token='<LOCATION_IQ_TOKEN_HERE>')

# Run InstaAnalyzer    
analyzer.run()

# Access cities, countries and location data
cities = analyzer.cities
countires = analyzer.countires
locations = analyzer.locations

# Access instagram media data
instagram_media = analyzer.insta_media_data

# Print locations later
analyzer.print_locations()

Stored data examples

When executed for nejckorasa data for one country item (Spain) looks like this:

Of course, <post_id> will be an actual post ID.

Data for cities is almost the same. For specific location one location item looks like this:

Notice additional_data field, this data is populated using Location IQ API

FAQ

Why does it take so long to load additional location data?

For reverse geocoding, Location IQ API is used. Free version of that API si rate limited to 1 request per second. That is why additional data loading takes <different_location_count> seconds.

Go check it out, leave feedback 🙏
