Publisher description, verbatimon Instagram, by users in the last 30 days among actors classified to this platform.
best #1 for “download”
Fast, easy, and generally reliable at scraping basic Instagram profiles and post fields, but it fails to capture all comments and owner/story details, has accuracy and limit issues, and suffers from cost and support shortcomings.

|---|---|---|---|
| Does it return everything | 5 praised · 20 complained | 25 | captures usernames, user IDs, verification statusgets most of the available data“For some reason it can't gather all the data adequately, some reels can't see the total mass. Views do not match what I see on the account. Probably because of the fact that it is necessary to collect data from an authorized account.” — 3/5 |
| Caps and ceilings | 0 praised · 10 complained | 10 | restricted by post count and paginationlacks date-range and view-based filters“Very good scraper. works super fast and reliable. If I had a free wish: there would be an option to scrape only certain months and to be able to set cetrain parameters by an external trigger. e.g. send an email: Scrape "this" IG account in the month of june 2024” — 5/5 |
| Does it run | 7 praised · 8 complained | 15 | works reliably and returns results consistentlyintermittent failures returning empty or private data“The instagram scrapper is working awesomely but the facebook scrapper is having so many issues, and due to that i am unable to upgrade to premium because i required both of these.” — 3/5 |
| Is the data right | 5 praised · 8 complained | 12 | generally accurate captions and search resultsreturns irrelevant or outdated post data“I did several different run with the hashtag search and the places search, and they all came back irrelevant.

Since th 18+ account are no longer covered. Hoping they lessen the amount of consumption. Moreover, I hope I can look for a specific niche rather than filling in the accounts for scrape. Using this in n8n” — 3/5 |
| Setup and docs | 8 praised · 4 complained | 12 | simple one-click usage and Excel exportlacks sorting and column-reduction options“I'm still new to all of this, but from what I can tell, it works really well to give me an Excel spreadsheet that I can put into Claude, where I then can work on strategy.” — 5/5 |
| What it costs | 0 praised · 4 complained | 4 | high cost and heavy credit consumption“All of a sudden, we went from a few hundred USD per day to over USD3k!” — 1/5 |
