[METHOD] Using Hashtags for INSANE Automated Growth on Instagram

[Christian Lowe]

Just FYI
It Gives me an Error on my Mac "Login Failed"
While on my Windows machine it works perfectly fine.

Interesting. does it give you any other error?

Great method thanks for sharing!

I did not understand how to use PyCharm.
Do you have any tutorials?

Sorry I'm just now getting around to replying to this. School started and kicked my ass. If you haven't gotten it yet, I'll make a tutorial for you!

I'm in pycharm, shouldn't that variable already be set? I am currently in the hashtag research directory.

Pycharm doesn't install Python by default which is unfortunate. Go to this link - https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370/ and download the correct installer. Just make sure when you start the installer to check the box 'Add Python to PATH variable' on the first screen. It's at the bottom and can easily be missed.

Hi, thanks for the awesome guide.

When I run the script in PyCharm, I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/hashtag-researcher-master/hashtag.py", line 220, in <module>
main(args.username, args.password, hashtags, args.max_tags, args.min_posts, args.max_posts, args.suggestions, file)
File "/hashtag-researcher-master/hashtag.py", line 136, in main
htr.setup_session()
File "/hashtag-researcher-master/hashtag.py", line 66, in setup_session
self.request_headers['X-CSRFToken'] = self.s.cookies.get_dict()['csrftoken']
KeyError: 'csrftoken'

Can you help me fix it?

Use a USA proxy and you should be fine.

hello I am starting with internet marketing and I would to ask you somenthing. What is the purposes of ''hashtags'' ?

I mean : ONCE you put an hashtag on your pic in instagram (let's suppose ''bigassgirls'') then what happens next?

All the instagram fellow who search or big ass would be direct to the instaram page?

Hashtags allow your posts to be found by users searching for that particular hashtag. Yours may or may not show up depending on the amount of interaction and timing of your post. They are a good way to narrow your niche and target on one audience.

What username and password are you using? I'm sure you did, but did you double check and make sure they are correct? The first line {'authenticated': False...} is the response from the web server indicating something was wrong with the login.

Yes. After seeing it work on Windows , i checked every letter of my username and password to make sure i did not make a mistake.
i even tried upgrading all dependencies using pip.

Hm. Do you have 2FA enabled on the account?

Nope.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Nope.

Alright you got me. Last thing I can think of trying is we do a Google Hangout where you share your screen and we can use a throw away IG account to test it. Let me know if you want to because now I'm curious.

Hi.This it could be fantastic but I am getting this error: "researcher" is not recognized as an internal or external command, program or batch file executable.

How can I solve?

Thanks!

You need to go to command line and type "pip install requests" to install this python module. If pip is not a known command, you need to add it at enviroment variables. Search for this on youtube if you need.

What would be the advantage to use this method?
I could also just simply use my own hashtags. I don’t entirely understand. I mean thanks for sharing this with us, i truly appreciate it! I would just like to understand the concept behind it

You can use your own hashtags this just gives you a little more info before choosing which hashtags to use. You can see which hashtags people are responding to - whether it be through liking or by commenting on the Instagram posts. More actions on your posts = greater chance of being found.

Ctrl + C should do the trick for you.

and why does this tool need username and password to work?

In order to get to the search bar on Instagram. Without being logged in, the program cannot see the search bar and therefore cannot collect the data.
