# Instagram Account Details Extraction

I have used a python code to extract the details of a given username, the searchDisplay() searches for the given username and prints the extracted data and the getDetails() searches for the given username and returns the extracted data in form of a dictionary.

## How to Use

Clone the repository and run the main.py file and enter a valid username as input.

## Requirements

For running this you need to have Python3 installed.

Then, run the command 

```bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

This will instantly install all the libraies needed.

## Example

To install the package

```bash

pip install ig-data==0.0.2

```

To initialize an object of the package, type within the python terminal

```bash

import ig_data.InstaSearch as ig       or      import ig_data.InstaSearch

```

Then using the object, call the function searchDisplay()

```bash

ig.searchDisplay(*USERNAME*)       or      ig_data.InstaSearch.searchDisplay(*USERNAME*)

```

And the output would be

```bash

Name :  *NAME*          Username :  @*USERNAME*     Followers :  *FOLLOWER COUNT*

 Bio :  *ACCOUNT DESCRIPTION*

```

Also using the object, call the function getDetails() and store the data in a dictionary

```bash

dictionary=dict()

dictionary=ig.getDetails(*USERNAME*)       or      dictionary=ig_data.InstaSearch.getDetails(*USERNAME*)

```

And the content of **d** would be

```bash

{'@context': 'http://schema.org', '@type': 'Person', 'name': *NAME*, 'alternateName': '@*USERNAME*', 'description': '*ACCOUNT DESCRIPTION*', 'url': '*PERSONAL URL IF ANY*', 'mainEntityofPage': {'@type': 'ProfilePage', '@id': 'https://www.instagram.com/*USERNAME*/', 'interactionStatistic': {'@type': 'InteractionCounter', 'interactionType': 'http://schema.org/FollowAction', 'userInteractionCount': '*FOLLOWER COUNT*'}}, 'image': 'https://www.instagram.com/static/images/ico/favicon-200.png/ab6eff595bb1.png'}

```
