#Instagram Geo-Crawler

An Instagram client that you can use to gather Instagram posts from a specific region.

You can specify multiple points where the crawler will do a radius search of 5km every 10 minutes.

##Usage

###Instagram Authentication You can specify your Instagram API keys by creating a instagram.properties file in src/resources/ (or another location that you need to specify in InstagramConnectionManager.getInstance()) with content:

name client_id, client_secret, access_token

You should generate the access_token yourself, the application doesn't do that.

You can specify multiple API keys, but for this task, one key will suffice.

###Database Use the DBManager to get a SQL connection. The necessary tables are created when you first run the app.

###Example Crawler.java is a usage example where we run the crawler for London
