Getting started

The purpose of SMARTEE is to track Instagram posts that include certain hashtags as they are published, and identify influencers and engagers. It is also a great tool to measure how engaged employees are with the company hashtag and who is the biggest company brand ambassador.

Prerequisites

Python 2.7 and a server.

A Raspberry Pi is great for this (maybe you have one lying around without a purpose).

Installing

1. Download a copy of the repo or clone to your preferred directory
2. Fill out the config file with your parameters and execute the run.py file
