Low profile picture resolution
Closed
profilePicUrl and profilePicUrlHD offer only 150x150 and 320x320 resolutions which is a bit low. this can be seen in the stp=dst-jpg_s320x320 query param.
is there a specific reason behind such limitations?
e.g. when manually visiting a profile & inspecting profile picture, it points to the image in its original resolution

Hi 😊
It's a limitation of the current scraper, it could be improved in the future, but it would need to do more work to get the url to the full resolution photo. Do you need the feature for something? Then I can add you to our internal issue tracking interest 😊

Hey Erik!
Yes, our team would extremely appreciate ability to get higher quality images. Setmixer is a live music startup and often the only lead we can get about the artist who performed on stage is the Instagram handle. Our UIs involve mostly audio players and pictures, so it's quite important for us to have quality images for artist's tracks.
Not everyone on our platform will spend time uploading images, so we rely on the scraper quite a lot.

Sorry, I misread your question, I thought you were asking about posts because we have that issue for Facebook 😅. Where do you find the full resolution profile picture? When looking at a profile through an incognito browser I don't see a way to access the original 🤔

i visited an instagram profile yesterday: https://www.instagram.com/setmixer/ and was able to extract a 640x640 image: https://instagram.fmci2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-19/315740337_1116115149100489_9195871378232590411_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s640x640_tt6&_nc_ht=instagram.fmci2-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=101&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2AGi0VYLoS0gbf1obLbsETbVzhMLXaP6w4sebPpAbNitgkil9Cj5w8vVuldDyZT3zgM&_nc_ohc=Zyfcr72iKMUQ7kNvgEQBLjT&_nc_gid=kkV1toRbhIEoc7fx-Zw8mQ&edm=AO4kU9EBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_AYFtxNeGvkYcX6630k_oYkWH5cqb7NyIgIjTzwnsJh-zOw&oe=67DDB148&_nc_sid=164c1d
now visiting the same page it's actually giving 320x320: https://instagram.fiev14-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-19/315740337_1116115149100489_9195871378232590411_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s320x320_tt6&_nc_ht=instagram.fiev14-2.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=101&_nc_oc=Q6cZ2QEld3FsDtEKdQVGTPaccID2hQaOVvbnCOh9ldSr-zoiEphmF0NXQ5bruHSOGkwUbu0&_nc_ohc=Gu_SUKYK0RwQ7kNvgGYEWlS&_nc_gid=7VfGNsqZ6CiizPPMBs91Ag&edm=AOQ1c0wBAAAA&ccb=7-5&oh=00_AYGKrhDeM2hqYULcX6H5ngyb5nuyiUMeTdLwbm_u_rp6_w&oe=67E08C88&_nc_sid=8b3546
strange
Hi!
I tried with the sample profile https://www.instagram.com/humansofny/ and was unable to find a resolution higher than 320x320
Without data sources, we can not improve details.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
