Igbot: idea of new function!

[iransales]

Can you save the name of the profiles that post with a hashtag?

[Talebano]

Yes,of course you can.
Just use function get_hashtag_users to scrape them and then save the names in a .txt file.
This should work:

import argparse
import os
import sys

sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.path[0], '../'))
from instabot import Bot

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(add_help=True)
parser.add_argument('-u', type=str, help="username")
parser.add_argument('-p', type=str, help="password")
parser.add_argument('-proxy', type=str, help="proxy")
parser.add_argument('hashtags', type=str, nargs='+', help='hashtags')
args = parser.parse_args()

bot = Bot()
bot.login(username=args.u, password=args.p,
          proxy=args.proxy)

for hashtag in args.hashtags:
    users = bot.get_hashtag_users(hashtag)
    for user in users:
        file = open('database.txt','a+')
        file.write(user)
        file.write("\n")

did not work :( @Talebano

[ademaro]

@iransales all work, all users_id saved in database.txt, for save usernames change line file.write(user) to file.write(bot.get_username_from_user_id(user))

[Talebano]

Yeah @ademaro is right.
But anyway if I was you @iransales I'd rather use the ids and not the username,because our bot works with ids..you'll be in need of converting them later I think.

[Talebano]

Close this issue,problem has been solved

[mendezin]

This works great but only dumps 64 users. Is it possible to manually give it a limit of xxx?

[programmarayush]

How can I run your script , Can I run through Ubuntu Terminal?
