Instagram profile scraper gives too many Related Profiles

Closed

When I scrape for a profile by providing profile handle/username, it returns quite a big dataset with a comprehensive profile data. But this creates problems if I only need small data like Profile name, followers, bio and a a few recent posts.

Is there a way to provide in the input config about what information we want to scrape?

I am specially looking to avoid scraping and downloading "Related Profiles" for the given profile as that's quite big data set which makes consumes a lot of IO and processing time.

Hi!

In order to get subset of output please use Export data dialog or API, in both cases you can just specify output fields i.e. from your run https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/2P8Snuz108f1jJ5nR/items?clean=true&fields=username,fullName,followersCount,biography,latestPosts&format=json

Actor getting all the details in single http request so modifying it by code will not save any CUs or time anyway

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
