Instagram Follower Scraper

Scrapes all the followers from instagram pages and stores them in a csv file

The scraper uses the awesome library Instaloader to get data from instagram. This doesn't use the instagram API because it is slow and has other limitations. Please don't run multiples instances of this scraper at same time from same device.
