Scrape instances.social

  1. import libraries

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys import os import time import datetime from pprint import pprint import requests import multiprocessing

today = datetime.date.today() text_file = open("results.txt", "a+") text_file.write("Data collected on : "+str(today)+"\n"+"\n")

  1. get the url from the terminal
  2. url = input("Enter instance.social url (include https:// ): ")

url = "https://instances.social/list#lang=en&allowed=nudity_nocw,nudity_all,pornography_nocw,pornography_all,illegalContentLinks&prohibited=spam,advertising,spoilers_nocw&users="

  1. Tell Selenium to open a new Firefox session
  2. and specify the path to the driver

driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) + '/geckodriver')

  1. Implicit wait tells Selenium how long it should wait before it throws an exception

driver.implicitly_wait(10) driver.get(url) time.sleep(3)

d = 1 e = [52,102,152,202,252,302,352,402] f = 0 i = 0


while True:

   try:
       driver.find_element_by_css_selector('a.list-group-item:nth-child(%d)'%d).click()
       instance_url = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#modalInstanceInfoLabel')
       description = driver.find_element_by_id('modalInstanceInfo-description')
       print ('Instance:')
       print(instance_url.text)
       text_file.write("Instance: "+"\n"+instance_url.text+"\n")
       print ('Description:')
       print(description.text)
       text_file.write("Description: "+"\n"+description.text+"\n"+"\n")
       time.sleep(0.5)
       # open instance in new tab
       driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#modalInstanceInfo-btn-go').send_keys(Keys.COMMAND + Keys.ENTER)
       time.sleep(0.5)
       #go to new tab
       driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[-1])
       time.sleep(1)
       try:
           # get the image source
           img = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.landing-page__hero > img:nth-child(1)')
           src = img.get_attribute('src')
           # download the image
           Picture_request = requests.get(src)
           if Picture_request.status_code == 200:
               with open("image%i.jpg"%i, 'wb') as f:
                   f.write(Picture_request.content)
                   print("Printed Image")
       except:
           print("Impossible to print image")
       time.sleep(0.5)
       # close new tab
       driver.close()
       print("Closing Window")
       #back to original tab
       driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])


       # closes pop up
       driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.btn.btn-secondary').click()
       time.sleep(1)
       d+=1
       i+=1
   except:
       print("This is an exception")
       driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#load-more-instances > a:nth-child(1)').click()
       d = (e[f])
       f+=1
       pass

text_file.close()

  1. close the browser

driver.close()
