Instadub Hashtag scraping issue?

Post by sga1111 »

Hi martin,

Hope you're ok and this is no biggy, just when you get 5.

Not sure if there is a limit on IG or an issue with Instadub. I've submitted logs: 60621 ver: 2.5.1.1

Problem (if it is?) is that I set to scrape for 46 edm hashtags and it returns only 36. I've tried different amounts and it returns about 10 under the amount you set to like/scrape.

Cheers :D

do you mean you are trying to scrape POSTS with that hashtag, or scrape SIMILAR hash tags,

so you enter edm

and it returns the next most popular hashtags with EDM in?

Hi Martin,

In the "Search term" box I put EDM ... then the drop down menu next to it I select "Search Hash Tags" ... I set the "Max Actions" to 46 ... then click the like button ... but it always returns 36 processed items (hash tags I assume) I'm not sure what it scrapes.
I am not sure if thats the correct setup?

Cheers,
Sean

Also Submit your logs

then send your logs ID - the first 4 numbers is sufficient (displayed after successful uploading of logs)

So this could be an IG issue?

it *IS* an ISG issue, use your phone or use the website and try and view EDM tag feed, you cannot.

Hi Martin,

Thought you might like to know:

I did some digging on IG, it's down to the abuse of the hashtag. They've suspended the tag for a short while so only some of the top tags for EDM get through.

I've also noticed a drop in interest to so will see what other tags there are as it's not good in general.

Thanks for your help! :)

there is a module where you can scrape similar hashtags

so you enter
edm

and get get back a list of the most popular similar tags


It will be on the scrape tab somewhere :)
