# Extracting Instagram Follower and Following Counts
## Overview:
This script automates the process of extracting the follower and following counts from an Instagram profile using Selenium WebDriver.
## Table of Contents:
- [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
- [Installation](#installation)
- [Project Structure](#project-structure)
- [Code Explanation](#Code-Explanation)
- [Running the test](#Running-the-test)
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.x
- Required libraries:
- `selenium`
- `pytest`
- `webdriver-manager`
## Installation:
To successfully set up and run the Selenium Automation Testing Project, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that you have Python 3.x installed on your machine. You can download it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/).
2. Familiarity with command-line interface (CLI) tools is recommended for executing commands.
3. Set Up a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended):
- It's best practice to create a virtual environment to manage dependencies for your project:
- Verify Python Virtual Environment: `Virtualenv --version`
- Create Virtual Environment: `virtualenv cd`
- Activate Virtual Environment: `Scripts\Activate`
- Deactivate Virtual Environment: `Scripts\Deactivate`
4. Install Required Libraries:
- Install the necessary Python libraries using pip. The required libraries for this project include:
- __Selenium :__ For web browser automation.
Install Python Selenium Module: `pip install selenium`
- __Pytest :__ For running test cases and managing test execution.
`pip install pytest`
Pytest Report: `pip install pytest-html`
- __Webdriver-manager :__ To automatically manage browser drivers.
Install WebDriver Manager Module: `pip install webdriver-manager`

## Code Explanation
### Task_10.py
This script contains the main logic for automating the drag-and-drop task using Selenium.
- __Data class:__ Contains the url of the Instagram profile to scrape.
- __Locators class:__ Stores the XPath expressions for various elements on the Instagram profile page, such as the close button, the black ribbon, and the follower/following counts.
- __InstaCounts Class:__ The InstaCounts class handles the extraction of follower and following counts.
### Methods in `InstaCounts` class:
- __extract_counts():__
- Initializes a Chrome WebDriver and opens the Instagram profile URL.
- Handles waiting for and interacting with various page elements (closing modals and extracting the follower and following counts).
- Returns the extracted counts as strings.
### test_InstaCounts.py:
- __test_extract_counts():__
- Instantiate the InstaCounts class.
- Call the extract_counts() method that returns the follower and following counts.
- It checks if the follower and following counts are correctly extracted.
## Running the test:
- The project uses pytest to test the extracted counts. To run the tests:
- Make sure the project and dependencies are properly set up.
- Run the following command to execute the test cases:
```
pytest -v -s --capture=sys --html=Reports\instaCounts.html test_InstaCounts.py
```
