Dataset
Instagram Dataset
Public media and user information collected from Instagram through the Instagram API between 20 January and 17 February 2014.
The media dataset contains, for each record, the anonymized media ID, the anonymized ID of the user who created it, the creation timestamp, the tags assigned to it, and the number of likes and comments it received. The anonymized user network contains asymmetric relations (A follows B); each edge carries the number of likes A gave to media created by B, the number of comments, and the list of comment timestamps.
- 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.
