hashtag, as the key name 'hashtag' states :)
Not the Instagram developer APIs, but the one that instagram's frontend consumes. The script scrapes instagram's frontend here.
Interesting, I might reverse engineer and see if we can introduce some kind of backoff and then resume the scraping again.
I suppose this is indeed a bug, since new recently tagged images will push the page downwards. Currently the script assumes no new image additions until the scraping is done which is clearly wrong, I'll open an issue and fix it soon.

Thanks!

This scraper was written to get images and create a dataset for ML models for personal project while studying Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
Just decorate a function that you want to trigger on a particular event with @ghooks.events(*args) decorator, with args as the list of events that it should listen to.
I had built it a few months ago. I wanted to write a stable CLI and wanted to automate something that I'd have to use GUI for.

I setup CI, wrote few test cases and also made a style convention. This was the first project where I setup CI, write tests, adhere to a standard, and write good, atomic commits.

I learnt to use `argparse` module.

It is possible to upload more then 1 file with description and name of the gist as of now.

There is also an option if you want the gist to be secret or not. Though currently, the gists are made anonymously, they'll not be associated with your account. That is something that I should implement in near future.
