Instagram Scraper for Golang.

A package that helps you with requesting to Instagram without a key.

### Installation:

Install:

```

$ go get -u github.com/Vorkytaka/instagram-go-scraper/instagram

```

Import:

```go

import "github.com/Vorkytaka/instagram-go-scraper/instagram"

```

### List of functions:

After import you can use following functions:

```go

// Get account info

account, err := instagram.GetAccountByUsername("username")

// Get media info

media, err := instagram.GetMediaByCode("code")

media, err := instagram.GetMediaByURL("https://instagram.com/p/code")

// Get slice of account media

media, err := instagram.GetAccountMedia("username", limit)

// or slice of all account media

media, err := instagram.GetAllAccountMedia("username")

// Get slice of location last media

media, err := instagram.GetLocationMedia("location_id", limit)

// Get array[9] of location top media

media, err := instagram.GetLocationTopMedia("location_id")

// Get location info

location, err := instagram.GetLocationByID("location_id")

// Get slice of tag last media

media, err := instagram.GetTagMedia("tag", limit)

// Get array[9] of tag top media

media, err := instagram.GetLocationTopMedia("tag")

// Search for users (return slice of Accounts)

users, err := instagram.SearchForUsers("username")

```

You'll get `err != nil` if request return 404 or if there a parsing error.

### About media updates:

Media can have one of 3 types:

* `TypeImage`

* `TypeVideo`

* `TypeCarousel`

From v0.2.03 media has MediaList field for collection of media.

If media is carousel, then there will be a list of all media.

If media is image or video, then there will be only one media, but also,

for backward compatibility, media url will be in `media.MediaURL` field.

### Update data:

You can update media by call `Update` method:

```go

media, err := instagram.GetMediaByCode("code")

err := media.Update()

if err != nil {

    // media didn't update

}

```

Same with account:

```go

account, err := instagram.GetAccountByUsername("username")

err := account.Update()

if err != nil {

}

```
