Instagram Feed Checker

This library is the fastest and simplest way to check someone's Instagram feed.

  • Free.
  • Not required your instagram account.
  • Instagram prohibits the use of web scraping tools in VM(virtual machine). But, this library can be used in VM.

If it is helpful, please give me a star⭐️. Thank you!

Quick start

  • Python >= 3.6
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install insta_feed_checker
import insta_feed_checker

insta_feed_checker.get_feeds(username='starbucks')
# Pairs of url(image src) and caption will be returned in a format like [(str, str), (str, str), ...]

Caution

This library is free, so it has some constraints.

  • You can get only up to 12 of latest Instagram feeds.
  • If you repeat the call in a short time, you may get blocked.
    • JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) means you are blocked.
    • If you are blocked, it will be released after some time.
    • When I tested it, even if I request once every 10 minutes, I was blocked around the 40th time.
