Issues with Apify Instagram Scraper – Request for Assistance

Closed
prosecutor060987 opened this issue
a month ago

Hello Support Team,

I am writing to request assistance regarding persistent issues with the Apify/instagram-post-scraper actor. Despite implementing several recommended measures, my requests to Instagram are still being blocked. Below are some details of my configuration and the challenges I am facing:

• I am using a realistic user-agent string to mimic a common browser environment. • Proxy settings are configured by enabling Apify’s proxy service. • I’ve limited the number of concurrent requests using the "maxRequestsPerCrawl" parameter to reduce the load. • For authentication, I am providing the necessary login cookies (including parameters such as csrftoken, sessionid, ds_user_id, etc.) via the "loginCookies" parameter.

Despite these measures, I continue to encounter errors such as “Request got blocked” or receive empty results, even for public profiles. This frequently disrupts the data scraping process and impacts my operations.

Could you please advise if:

There are additional configuration adjustments or parameters that could be fine-tuned to prevent these blocks? Specific best practices or known issues might be contributing to this behavior with the current setup? There is any updated guidance related to handling authentication or IP rotation that I might have overlooked? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I am keen to resolve this issue and ensure stable data retrieval from Instagram.

Thank you very much for your support.

Hi 😊

We had issues with the scraper over the last ~24 hours because Meta made changes to some APIs - they should be resolved now 😌.

For the rest of your comment, this scraper does not take parameters like the ones your are referencing - we don't do login, and we handle user-agent, proxy settings and run concurrency internally 😅.

I'll close this issue for now, but if you have further issues with (or questions about) the scraper, feel free to reach out again 😌.
