# WebscrapingInstagram with Selenium




This Repository contains a collection of notebooks related to Instagram web scraping and automation.









## CURRENT VERSION (THUMBNAIL EXTRACTION)

Please refer to WebscrapingInstagram_completeUpdated_DEC2022.ipynb generated and tested on December 22th, 2022.




This file showcases the updated Selenium commands, which have changed from the moment of filming my YouTube tutorial and now.




FYI, in the new version of Selenium, commands of this syntax:

```driver.find_elements_by_tag_name("input")```

were replaced with commands of that syntax:

```driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "input")```

## CURRENT VERSION (IMAGE EXTRACTION)
