SOCMINT tool to get personal infos from an Instagram account via analysis of its followers and/or following

Overview

S T E R R A

🔭 A SOCMINT tool to get infos from an Instagram acc via its Followers / Following

Allows you to analyse someone's followers, following, and mutuals, with these functions:

  • 📊 A probability function to determine the close social circle of your target,
  • 📥 Export of the followers / following lists (with their details) to excel and csv,
  • ℹ️ More informations here.
  • 💱 Check the WIKI for the detailed Usage.

Sterra have been recently updated to 2.1, with a lot of new features, but have not been tested on every systems. Everything works, but not handled bugs or errors could happen. If it happen to you, please report it to the Issues section. Thanks :)

♻️ Also a great alternative to Export List of Followers from Instagram, that has been killed.

Here is the result for the accounts followed by Mark Zuckerberg, then for Kylie Jenner :

🦺 Big changes are coming soon, curently working on the wiki for this new version, because it will be much complicated to use.

📥 Installation

  • Via PyPI
pip install sterra
  • Via GitHub
git clone https://github.com/novitae/sterraxcyl
cd sterraxcyl
python setup.py install
# if it fails, use via PyPI

📌 Notes

  • Here is a tutorial on how you can find your "sessionid".
  • If you want to extract lists without express mode, it will take a long time. I advise to do something else while the program does the job.
  • If your password contains special characters (and it should...) such as "!", you may enclose it between quotes.
  • It is better if you use an account made specially for the occasion. I do not recommend using your personnal account !
  • The account you will use must have 2FA disabled.
  • If the target account is private, you must be following it to extract data of it.
  • If instagram blocks you, i recommend using another account.
  • This program can be very powerful against most of instagram users, including big accounts: i tried it once one real account (with 250k followers), and it brought me very far. I'm not responsible of its misuse, but don't do shit with it.
  • The program doesn't work on GitPod.

This program took me a lot of time; if you appreciate it, feel free to reward my work here:
BTC bc1qjdw2hsspdlw7j9j9qn24gnujnk5thdmt6h2kjh

I will soon have no more time for coding during a certain period (because im joining army). Feel free to work on my program if you want to make it better.
If you want to help this project, here is a "to do" list:

  • Adding probabilities of interests in _pro.py file (actually there's just probabilities of being a personnal accounts)
Comments
  • KeyError: 'The input list must contain (at least) the key

    KeyError: 'The input list must contain (at least) the key "id"'

    Following the example on on the wiki: sterra compare F_ID_1 F_ID_2 --common-usernames

    I have tried the full path to each of the files for comparison , also tried with the file ID's found listed in history for the files im trying to compare but both return KeyError: 'The input list must contain (at least) the key "id"'

    Is this an issue or am I using it incorrectly?

    TargetException

    Hey! When I scrape the followers of a specific account it starts but stops about 30-35% with that error message:

    TargetException: Be sure that you are following the account you are aiming for if it is in private.

    Is there anything I can do about it? Didn't you had a delay function in your script?

    Trying to work through this login issue: "Please check Instagram app for a security confirmation that it is you trying to login."

    I keep acknowledging it was me but to no avail -- might be due to thinking it's a windows 10 phone (who has one of those, right?) -- if I figure it out will update....

  • Rate Limit Error although followers extraction is completed

    Rate Limit Error although followers extraction is completed

    Hey,

    I'm having an issue with resuming a "part" content, I'm using the following command syntax: sterra export -ssid xxx -u xxx -p xxx

    When it hit 100% on the followers extraction, the "RateLimitError" showed, so I didn't use sterra for three days, (usually used it every 24h to finish the extraction phase) now when trying to resume the script with the syntax above - I'm still getting the "RateLimitError".

    When using Instagram on mobile or web, I am able to use the search, like photos, follow etc... To make sure, I ran sterra again but without the "-p" flag using the following: sterra export -ssid xxx -u xxx -t followers and it started the process all over again, which meant it wasn't a rate-limit blockage.

    Also, the "Getting users details" has been completed to 100% (then again rate limit).

    Call sterra directly from python (#2)

    Last issue was force closed, so here again. I tried the solution mentioned before. I have added the running of main here: https://pastebin.com/T3xdg2GG However, it just prints out the default print (not the export not with arguments). It is not calling the new parser() functions, just the old one.

    All I want to do is to get followers directly from python and get a path to the file.

  • Add the ability to resume fetching the follow list

    Add the ability to resume fetching the follow list

    Noticed that when a rate limit occurs when fetching a list of usernames (and before hydrating the profiles), the state is not saved. The script restarts the fetch from the beginning the next time the script is run. This patch adds an option to resume from the last state similar to the existing feature for saving partial fetching of full profiles.
