Hi Johan 😀 You'll need to tackle this with a conditional statement, where videos would be saved under the ".mp4" extension and images under the ".png" extension mentioned in the end of the video. Let me know if you were able to figure it out! 😊if not - I can film a quick tutorial showing how to do it 😉

​@@TheJohanHalim Yes, you are absolutely correct Johan!😊 You get this type of error when trying to save a collection of images (video) as a single .png or .jpeg image, it's due to an incorrect format. The amount of images you should expect differs from one computer to another, depending on the size/scale of the display. The code in this tutorial would get you the number of images that results in a single scroll event. And as Instagram uses a dynamic language - the more you scroll, the more images are loaded to the page. If you'd like to include several scroll events - checkout my community post, where I include additional resources, a detailed article and code examples on how you can expend this bot: kzread.infoUgwVQazZhNNqwdghhdh4AaABCQ I'll get back to you after the weekend with a solution to your video question 😉

This content is really great. Thank you for sharing it. Years ago I used to do web scraping back when there was a lot less JS and interactivity but haven't done it in a long time. This video got me back into it. Keep it up!

Hello ,I really like you work, just started to do some web scrapping and you tutorial was of a great help for me , you are organized, your explanation is perfect clear and easy to follow, just one thing I noticed and I already fixed but I wanna know if there is other way around. the problem is the search box don't appear if the chrome screen size is big so we just get the side bar with the search symbol which need to be pressed to open the search box, which I tried to figure out how to make it but couldn't. so I just added a screen size (driver.set_window_size(740,500)) to make sure the search box will appear automatically. If you know how to fix it the normal way that would be nice, Thank you

You explained Selenium very clear. Can you also explain in a video on how to prevent to be detected as a bot? I read many post on stack overflow but Selenium still got detected as a bot, even on the first page load.

very nice tutorial I must say its easy to follow and thanks for all your hard work showing all of us, Just a question could you use a mixture of selenium and beutifullsoup to automate the login and parse the html? just a thought because it all works but the page loads takes forever

I need help When i tried to run the program, there's an error: SessionNotCreatedException: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 110 Current browser version is 114.0.5735.111 with binary path C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe What should I do?

Just a question about how Instagram would or wouldn't detect that it is being scraped from the user and/or proxy address, when the site is loaded where you can see all the posts without yet having clicked on any of them does it mean that the images already been requested once in order for them to first display? After we collect the image links and again request them with Selenium will it count as a second time? Will Instagram see that it has been double requested from the same user everytime?

The project is very good. Congratulations. I'm still getting started in Python and I would like to know how I copy the list of followers for a given profile. It would be possible?
