About

One scraper that adapts to whatever you paste:

Profile (username or profile URL) → full profile record (followers, following, bio, verified, category, external links, HD avatar) plus every recent post as its own row: caption, hashtags, like/comment counts, timestamp, media type, image URLs and video views. Posts beyond the first 12 are paginated automatically for as long as the run's request budget allows.
Post or reel URL → the complete post: caption, like/comment/view counts, carousel images, video URL, music, owner details — plus the comments (text, author, likes, timestamps) as separate rows.

Data sources, in order of preference: modern embedded relay JSON, anonymous GraphQL timeline queries (cursor-paginated), the web_profile_info JSON endpoint, legacy embeds, then JSON-LD / og: meta tags.

Instagram aggressively blocks automated traffic, so this scraper uses the premium Web Unlocker tier.

Premium — uses the managed web unlocker to get past anti-bot protection.
