Collect, Process, Visualize - Programming Social Graphs (Instagram, Python, Gephi)

Introduction to network analysis on a real-world example. In this video, we will collect social data from Instagram, process it using Python and then create a graph with Gephi, an open-source graph visualization and exploration tool. I will demonstrate the whole pipeline from start to finish, so that you can easily try out your own data science experiments. In the end, we will see how to use force-directed graph layout algorithms in Gephi and how to run a modularity analysis to visualize community structures (clusters). Join me on this journey and code along 😊 🎬 Overview 00:00 Intro 02:40 Collect data from Instagram 06:15 Process data - Disassemble .HAR files 22:06 Process data - Prepare for Gephi (nodes & edges) 29:44 Visualize data in Gephi 38:33 Bonus: Put profile pictures on nodes 48:10 Outro 👋 You can also find me here:
