Corgis of Instagram!

For a fun scraping project, I decided to pull the most recent posts from a bunch of prominent Corgis of Instagram to see their comparative performance and some of the hastags they used to help promote their posts.

The functions being used do the following:

• recent_10_posts: scrapes the most recent 10 Instagram posts and grabs their urls
• links_to_details: takes the list of links and returns a list of dictionaries with details for each post, including:
  • age - when posted
  • comment - initial comment from poster
  • likes/views - count of likes or views for photo or video
  • link - the original link of the post

Bonus: How to extract the photo:

Function included in notebook to extract photos.
