Obtain Cookies

++++++++++++++

Use `Chrome extension in this repo `_ to get the cookies. Load the

extension using Chrome extension developer mode. Log in to Instagram using

Chrome. Click on the loaded extension button and save the content as

*auth.json*. We will use it later to access Instagram API.

Terminology

+++++++++++

Given the URL of the post as follows:

::

  https://www.instagram.com/p/BfJzG64BZVY/

The *code* of the post is **BfJzG64BZVY**.

Usage

+++++

This package *instago* only access the Instagram public and private API and get

metadata from the API.

Install the package by ``go get``:

.. code-block:: bash

  $ go get -u github.com/siongui/instago

You can use the following methods without cookies

- `GetUserInfoNoLogin `_

- `GetRecentPostCodeNoLogin `_

- `GetUserId `_

- `GetPostInfoNoLogin `_

- `GetUserProfilePicUrlHd `_

- `GetAllPostMediaNoLogin `_

For the other methods which need cookies to access Instagram API, you must call

NewInstagramApiManager_ first:

.. code-block:: go

  import (

  	"github.com/siongui/instago"

  )

  mgr := instago.NewInstagramApiManager("auth.json")

Then you can use *mgr* to get metadata from Instagram API. For example, you can

get all post codes of the user

`instagram `__ as follows:

.. code-block:: go

  codes, err := mgr.GetAllPostCode("instagram")

  if err != nil {

  	panic(err)

  }

  for _, code := range codes {

  	println("URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/%s/\n", code)

  }

For complete examples, see test files (files ends with *_test.go*). The

following are some examples you may be interested in:

- `Web scraping: instagram.com | Shiori `_

- | `query_hash on instagram graphql - Google search `_

  | `How to scrape pages with infinite scroll: extracting data from Instagram - Diggernaut `_

  | `colly instagram example `_

  cause 403 Forbidden when downloading the URL. See `issue #2`_ for more info.
