You can use jQuery to do web scraping on Instagram or Linkedin even though these websites do not load jQuery by default. No subscription software required.
In this video I'll explain how you can load jQuery for web scraping websites on sites that don't load jQuery by default, like Instagram or Linkedin for example.

This video is aimed to help people who don't really need or want to use any of those fancy subscription-based softwares like PhantomBuster etc.

Case study:
-------------------
You are aiming to market your product, service or business via Instagram.
You want to find the right hashtags.
You can collect these hashtags and number of posts one by one, copy and paste them in a spreadsheet. But that is time-consuming.

OR

You can speed things up in a few clicks using only jQuery.
jQuery is not a software that you have to download. You can just link to it.
jQuery is a very handy javascript library that makes coding in javascript so much easier.


The problem:
----------------
jQuery currently isn't loaded by default on Instagram or Linkedin.
If you type in "jQuery" in the console and you get an error that says:

"ReferrenceError: Can't find variable: jQuery"

You now know that jQuery isn't loaded.
So how to solve that problem?


The solution:
----------------
Load jQuery using TamperMonkey.

In this video I show you step by step how to setup a TamperMonkey userscript to get jQuery loaded on Instagram or Linkedin or any other website that doesn't have jQuery running by default.
