I need to run this command instagram-scraper "+ username +" --media-metadata --media-types none
inside a python executable file as you see bellow is the code I'm using to do that and it's working fine when I run it like that py test.py
, but after I turn it to an executable file using the PyInstaller command: pyinstaller -F test.py
, it doesn't work and it doesn't return any error, the console disapears directly after execution.
import os
def getFollowers(username):
os.system("instagram-scraper "+ username +" --media-metadata --media-types none")
getFollowers("oukebdane_med_anis")
After a long struggle, I finally found a solution to the problem, according to the strategy suggested by Mr. @AKX, whom I thank very much.
import instagram_scraper as isc
def getFollowers(username):
scraper = isc.InstagramScraper(usernames=[username], media_metadata=True, media_types=['none'])
scraper.scrape()
getFollowers("oukebdane_med_anis")
