Social Network Graph Project

With this project I intend to accomplish 3 things:

1. Build a selenium bot to grab my social network data from Instagram.
2. Use D3.js to graph the network.
3. Apply 3 practical algorithms to the graph data that solve real world problems.

Results

1. The selenium bot's source code can be found in the instagram_bot_scraper.py file, and is most easily accesible through the cli.py script.
2. The D3.js source coude can be found in the index.html file. It requires a data.json file which can be generated using the data_to_json.py script.
3. The algorithms applied on this graph are written in the Graph/analysis.py file.
