How to extract data from Instagram?

I am completely new to scripts and Digital Humanities, so any help would be most welcome. I need to find a way to extract data from instagram, namely

  1. all posts that contain a certain tag

    • the content of this post
    • the username (and full name and bio if possible)
    • the location (if there is one)
    • the amount of likes and/or views
    • the date on which it was posted

  2. all posts of a certain user

    • the content of this post
    • the username (and full name and bio if possible)
    • the location (if there is one)
    • the amount of likes and/or views
    • the date on which it was posted

I have no experience with web-scraping or Python, so I would be very grateful if someone could explain it in a way a layperson might understand or point me towards available scripts or other helpful information/websites. I would need to export the data to a CSV-file.

Thank you in advance!
