I am new to all this. I work for a marketing company and I am looking to scrape data from our instagram influencer's in a more efficient manner.
I want to be able to scrape descriptions, number of posts, comments per post, likes, titles, etc. Having said that, I am new to programming and have absolutely no idea where to start, or which language would be best. Should I attempt to do this with Python, php, node? How do I get started? I know how to setup my working environment with python, with IDLE, but that's about it.
Thanks for the help.

You may find a working code that scrapes popular images from an Instagram Page here
I found great resource that you can use: https://github.com/postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper
You need to learn about php before using it. There is a guide on this page, so there is not much that you need to do from there, after you'll get around php.
