1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,080 After learning how you can gather information about an Instagram account, the next thing you are going 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,310 to learn is how you can download someone's Instagram profile. 3 00:00:10,670 --> 00:00:18,410 Now there are two ways the manual and the automatic way and the manual way normally requires more effort 4 00:00:18,410 --> 00:00:24,560 and is more time consuming, but it is very reliable, which means that it will work with you all the 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,250 time. 6 00:00:25,790 --> 00:00:33,320 On the other hand, if you use tools to download all the posts and followers, followings, etc., your 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,930 account might get banned or suspended. 8 00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:41,450 In addition to that, these tools might stop working in the future. 9 00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:47,300 So that's why it's always very important to learn the manual method and the automatic method. 10 00:00:48,050 --> 00:00:50,240 So Rishi Cobra account is private. 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:56,540 But in your case, if you have a Sockpuppet account and you followed your target on Instagram and they 12 00:00:56,540 --> 00:01:01,070 have accepted your follow, then you can use the exact same method that I'm going to show you right 13 00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:01,760 now. 14 00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:07,290 So to continue, we are going to download all the followers from cyber pseudo. 15 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:13,860 Now to do this I'm going to click on followers and here are all the followers that are following cyber 16 00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:19,800 pseudo, and I need to load all the followers by scrolling down all the way down. 17 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,670 All right, so once all the followers are loaded, I'm going to copy all of them like this. 18 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,120 And then right mouse click and then I'm going to say copy. 19 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,820 And then I'll open an Excel spreadsheet. 20 00:01:33,870 --> 00:01:36,510 So I'm going to click on the A. 21 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,610 And then I'm going to say Ctrl V to paste all of the usernames that I have copied. 22 00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:44,430 And then I will say okay. 23 00:01:46,110 --> 00:01:51,030 And as you can see, one thing that you'll notice is that profile pictures were also copied. 24 00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:53,730 So I'm going to delete all of the profile pictures. 25 00:01:53,730 --> 00:01:57,300 And to do this I'm going to click on F5 on my keyboard. 26 00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:01,770 And then I'm going to click on special and then select objects. 27 00:02:01,770 --> 00:02:03,600 And then I'm going to say okay. 28 00:02:03,870 --> 00:02:06,870 And then I'm going to press delete on my keyboard. 29 00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:11,250 And now we have the usernames along with their display names. 30 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:14,180 so we can just save the file like this. 31 00:02:14,570 --> 00:02:20,930 Or we can make it cleaner by adding the username in here and the display name of the username in the 32 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,800 B column. 33 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:28,190 So to do this I'm going to click on the A first and filter all the usernames by clicking on data. 34 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,470 And then I'm going to click on filter. 35 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:32,780 And then I'm going to click on the arrow. 36 00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:34,610 And then I'm going to say sort by color. 37 00:02:34,610 --> 00:02:36,530 And then I will say automatic. 38 00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:39,980 So now here we have all the display names. 39 00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:45,350 In my case I'm going to start copying the usernames not the display names. 40 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,590 So they are right here. 41 00:02:52,490 --> 00:02:55,430 And I'm going to start copying from here. 42 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:03,800 After selecting all the usernames I'm going to say Ctrl C and open a new sheet. 43 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,550 And then I'm going to click on the A again and then say paste. 44 00:03:07,550 --> 00:03:13,130 And here are all the followers that are following me on Instagram without their display names. 45 00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:17,160 So if I scroll down to see how many followers I were able to copy. 46 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:21,390 You can see that I were only able to copy 278 followers. 47 00:03:21,390 --> 00:03:21,900 So. 48 00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:26,850 Instagram will not show me all the followers and I'll show you how you can. 49 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,100 Bypass this and export all the followers later in this lecture. 50 00:03:33,090 --> 00:03:34,500 Right now what we. 51 00:03:34,530 --> 00:03:41,130 Are going to do is to copy the display names and put them beside their usernames. 52 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:49,860 So I'm going to copy the display names right now like this and say Ctrl C. 53 00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:53,430 And now I'm going to open a new Excel spreadsheet. 54 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:59,850 And then I will click on the A again and paste all the display names. 55 00:03:59,850 --> 00:04:01,500 So we want to remove this. 56 00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,800 And to remove this we are going to use a VBA code. 57 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:10,320 And then you are going to copy this code that I will put its link in the resources of this lecture. 58 00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:14,520 And then I'm going to come back to my Excel spreadsheet. 59 00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:18,660 And then I will hold the alt and F11 keys. 60 00:04:18,690 --> 00:04:23,410 And this will open Microsoft Visual Basic for application. 61 00:04:23,410 --> 00:04:28,060 And I'm going to click on Sheet1 because the names are in Sheet1. 62 00:04:28,090 --> 00:04:30,430 And I will paste the code in here. 63 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:33,940 Then I'm going to close this window. 64 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,330 And now to run the code we are going to hold the alt and F8 keys. 65 00:04:41,710 --> 00:04:46,840 And we can see that we have a macro that's called delete cells below text. 66 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,630 And all I have to do is just to click on run. 67 00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:54,370 And now it deleted and cleaned our display names. 68 00:04:54,610 --> 00:04:59,650 Now I'm going to click on the A and copy all the display names. 69 00:04:59,650 --> 00:05:04,960 And then come back to my first display sheet where all the user names are. 70 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,460 And then I'm going to click on the B and then Ctrl V to paste all the display names. 71 00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:15,970 And now we have the user name and the display name. 72 00:05:16,930 --> 00:05:24,100 So if I clicked on any username for example this one, you are going to see that their display name 73 00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:27,890 is Musa AK which is right here. 74 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:35,840 Another method that you can use to copy all the followers and following of an Instagram account is by 75 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:41,540 using a browser extension called IG Follower Export Tool, and you can download this from Chrome Web 76 00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:43,940 Store and add it to your Chrome browser. 77 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:50,390 After you add it to your browser, you are going to an Instagram account to the target account and you 78 00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:52,280 need to make sure that you are logged in. 79 00:05:52,370 --> 00:05:58,490 After you log in to your account, you are going to click on the icon of this extension. 80 00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:02,060 And then I'm going to say Export Instagram data. 81 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:05,720 And here we are going to add a target username. 82 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,520 And in our case it's cyber pseudo. 83 00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:10,010 You can add Rishi Kabir or any private account. 84 00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:11,360 It will still work. 85 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,960 But you want to make sure that you are logged in and the delay is the time between each scrape. 86 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,760 So the larger the number is the better it is for your account. 87 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,140 I set it to ten. 88 00:06:24,170 --> 00:06:25,160 It was five. 89 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,540 So I think that this is enough. 90 00:06:26,540 --> 00:06:28,880 And this might take one minute for me. 91 00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:30,590 And here we will select that. 92 00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:37,870 You want to extract the followers And after that you want to click on start a new parsing to extract 93 00:06:37,870 --> 00:06:40,510 all the followers of an Instagram account. 94 00:06:42,460 --> 00:06:44,350 And now the parsing is finished. 95 00:06:44,350 --> 00:06:48,820 I can click on Save to Excel to download an Excel file. 96 00:06:48,850 --> 00:06:55,780 And then I'm going to open this file and you will see that the file that we have got from this tool 97 00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:02,140 is way better and has way more information than the file that we have previously created, because it 98 00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:09,820 will show us the user ID, username, display name, profile URL and the avatar URL and whether this 99 00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:11,560 account is verified or not. 100 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,350 And if I am following this account. 101 00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:21,820 So you can already see how much effort we have saved and how much information we were able to get just 102 00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:24,490 by using a free browser extension. 103 00:07:24,490 --> 00:07:29,920 Now, I highly recommend you use a Sockpuppet account before using this tool to extract the followers 104 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:37,210 or followings, because your account might get suspended and you don't want your personal account get 105 00:07:37,210 --> 00:07:38,230 suspended.
