Common questions about the Instagram Scraper API
Do I need to log in or use an Instagram API key?
No. Our service accesses publicly available data from Instagram’s web interface. You don’t need to provide any credentials or API keys.
How do you handle Instagram’s anti-scraping measures?
We utilize rotating residential proxies and mimic official app/web behaviors. Instagram is known for rate limiting and blocking scrapers, but our backend manages these challenges to deliver data reliably as long as usage is within reasonable limits.
Can I get the comments or likes of a post?
We provide the count of likes and comments for each post. However, fetching the full list of comments or likers for a post is not currently offered as it significantly increases the scraping complexity and volume. We focus on summary engagement metrics.
Is hashtag scraping real-time?
The hashtag search will retrieve the current top or recent posts for that tag at the time of request. Instagram may not show all posts (especially if there are millions). We provide pagination to get more posts, but extremely high volumes are not guaranteed due to Instagram limitations.
