This is going to be a new pipeline scraping public posts on Instagram with meta information such as location and hashtags.

It should be possible to scrape public Instagram posts using hashtags, locations, and (public) users. This article provides some insights and ideas: https://blog.apify.com/scrape-instagram-posts-comments-and-more-21d05506aeb3/

Since @bmahmoudyan can't continue working on this issue, it's up for grabs again. :)

The requirements for a new pipeline are the following:

  • Saving the raw data (in this case the scraping results) in a file as is
  • Transforming at least lat/lng to H3 and moving all nested properties to a column/table format using meaningful variable names (since we are switching to Postgres and dbt for transformations)
  • Ideally saving the results in Parquet format since it’s much more storage efficient and optimized for parallel processing (just one command with PySpark)

I am interested in taking this issue, i will be splitting the pipelines into 2 parts:

  • Scrapper API
  • And the actual Pipelines

just like the Google POI pipelines

Currently still working on the instagram scrapper and looking at what's possible.
