Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape public Instagram profiles?

Yes — it’s entirely legal to scrape publicly accessible data. We only collect what users choose to show publicly. For more details, see our guide on the legality of web scraping.

Do I need to log into Instagram to use this scraper?

No login required. The tool works entirely from public usernames or URLs — no account, no cookies, no session needed.

Can I scrape profiles using just a username?

Yes — username is enough. Provide a username (or a profile URL) and we’ll fetch all available public data from that account.

Can I scrape private or restricted profiles?

No. If a profile is private or restricted, Instagram doesn’t expose its data publicly — so it can’t be scraped.

What data do you extract from each profile?

We collect 62 attributes per profile, including followers, follows, posts count, bio, category, verification status, professional/business flags, public contact details, external links, related profiles, and more.

How many posts and videos do you collect per profile?

Up to 12 latest posts and 4 latest IGTV videos per profile, plus external links and related profiles.

How many profiles can I scrape and how fast is it?

1 credit = 1 profile, with a processing speed of up to 20 profiles per minute. Pricing starts at $2 / 1,000 profiles depending on your plan — try the simulator here.

Can I collect business email or phone number?

Yes — when publicly available. If the profile displays a business email, phone number, or contact method, we extract it as-is (no guessing, no enrichment).
