Description

raker is full-stack and command-line interface for a social media scraper for Instagram, TikTok and VSCO. Both the server and CLI are written in Go, and the web interface is server-side rendered. Both Instagram and TikTok scraping require authentication cookies, which are stored locally wither on the server's MongoDB instance after provided, or on a file system accesible by the CLI.
