🚀 Performance

• Residential proxy coverage on every run — your IP stays out of it
• GraphQL pagination with automatic v1 API fallback baked in
• 50 results per page, moves quickly on most public profiles

---

⚠️ Limitations

• Private accounts are skipped cleanly — no retries wasted
• Results depend on Instagram's availability and pagination depth at the time of the run
• Very large exports are better split across multiple runs for reliable results

---

💳 Pricing

Charged per result delivered. The free tier gives you enough room to validate output before committing to scale. Paid runs are meant for production use and larger exports.

---

📎 Notes

Run a small batch first to confirm output quality before launching large jobs. Stick to public profiles. Break up big account lists across runs when needed.

If something looks off, open an issue and it'll get looked at quickly.
