Instagrab is a research tool developed at the DMRC for collecting and processing Instagram posts and media files without access to the Instagram Web API. In this workshop you will experiment with the Instagrab software, and collect data from Instagram (and generate output) that is useful for your own research projects, and we will also have a (brief) critical discussion about issues and risks related to using a research tool such as Instagrab, primarily from an ethical and legal perspective.
