Various scripts for archiving and monitoring social media. Updated as I make more things.
All scripts will accept multiple inputs. Based on the Instaloader Python 3.7 module. See Instaloader documentation for simple account archiving. To get Instaloader, run pip3 install instaloader.
Coded in a fit of rage when I went to cite a photo in a geolocation only to discover that target had nuked his whole Insta, the deletion monitor will scrape posts from a target account, check previously archived posts against the online account at time of download, and output a text file listing any previously archived posts that the target has deleted.
$ python3 insta_deletionmonitor.py USERNAME
or add to crontab. USERNAME is a username minus @ symbol. The list of deletions is stored in the archive directory as {USERNAME}_deletedposts.txt.
Outputs username, account link, and ID for all users posting in a hashtag. Does NOT archive posts.
$ python3 insta_hashtaggers.py HASHTAG
HASHTAG is a hashtag minus # symbol. Data stored as {HASHTAG}_taggers.csv
All scripts will accept multiple inputs. Based on Twint. To get Twint, run
pip3 install twint.
Returns tweets, followers, following, and likes for a Twitter user.
$ python3 twitter_account_archive.py USERNAME
USERNAME is a username minus @ symbol. The lists are stored as CSV files in a new directory {USERNAME}_twitter.
