Is it safe to scrape more than 1,500 profiles per day?

Hi, I'm planning to scale my usage of the Instagram Profile Scraper Actor and would like to know if there are any risks involved with scraping more than 1,500 Instagram profiles per day.

Since the proxy is hardcoded, I want to make sure I don’t get blocked or flagged by Instagram. Could you please clarify:

What is the recommended safe usage limit per day or per run?

Is there a preferred strategy to avoid detection (e.g. using batches, delays, scheduling tips)?

Can I scrape thousands of profiles safely over multiple runs?

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hi 😊

While we control the proxy, it is not just one hardcoded proxy - we rotate them during the run. You should be fine scraping thousands of profiles per day, even in a single run 😌.

I'll close this issue now, but feel free to reach out again if you have further questions 😊
