Instagram Dataset
Source: Public media and user information from Instagram.com (through Instagram API).
Crawling period: Jan 20 – Feb 17, 2014.

Size
Media dataset: 1.7M media associated to 2K users, with 9M tags, 1200M likes, and 41M comments.
User network: about 45K vertices and 678K edges.
Request data
- Media dataset: about 51MB (200MB uncompressed).
- User network: about 21MB (7MB uncompressed).
