python - Instagram scraping - Unable to get redirected by requests -
what i'm trying achieve obtain instagram username user id. i'm trying without instagram api, since app not approved. found out can done, @ least in browser, going follow page redirects url containing username.
lets use instagram id 184846987 example
by going url https://www.instagram.com/web/friendships/184846987/follow/ redirected page https://www.instagram.com/tsrod_/ contains username , can extracted. note user need logged in, in order work.
so i'm trying achieve using python's requests library. think have cookies needed able this. here snippet.
response = request_session.get(follow_url, allow_redirects=true) print(response.url)
this, however, not redirect me anywhere. code outputs same url requested. doing wrong? in advance!
you can try this
follow_url="what_ever_you_put" cookie={"sessionid":"your_session_id"} resp=requests.get(follow_url, cookies=cookie , allow_redirects = true) print(resp.url)
that it
