Frequently asked questions

Can I scrape an Instagram profile without logging in?

Yes. This scraper uses only Instagram's public profile data, so no account, password or cookies are required. It works on public profiles only.

How many posts can I get per profile?

The public no-login source exposes roughly the 12 most recent posts per profile. The scraper returns up to that many per account, controlled by the Posts Per Profile setting.

Can it scrape private accounts?

No. Private accounts expose no public posts, so the scraper returns a profile record marked as private with no posts. Only public data is collected.

Do I need a proxy?

Yes, and it is enabled by default. The scraper routes traffic through Apify Proxy automatically, so there is nothing to set up. Leave the proxy option on.

What can I do with the data?

Build follower and engagement dashboards, monitor competitor or influencer accounts, track campaign hashtags, archive public posts or feed captions and media URLs into your own pipelines.
