Instagram Influencer Dataset — Pet
A Instagram (pet influencers) dataset of 169,998 posts from pet influencers, collected by Seungbae Kim and Jinyoung Han (2020). Each record contains post caption text, like count, comment count, video/ad flags, tagged user count, location presence, image dimensions, timestamp, and influencer follower count. The dataset is notable for its subset of 9.7M-post Instagram influencer dataset covering the pet category, with rich per-post engagement signals and influencer-level metadata. Intended for research into influencer marketing analysis, engagement prediction, social media content analysis, and sponsorship detection. This package holds the post metadata (one JSON .info file per post) and influencer lists; the post images, which the authors distribute separately on request, are not included.
