Restricted profile Session ID / Cookie
Closed
I need to scrape restricted profiles as well - how to do that?
To find if an Instagram profile has restricted content based on country, go to the profile, tap the three dots in the top right, then select "About this account" to check for age restrictions.
Then, try to use the country code for unrestricted countries as custom proxy settings. If the profile owner sets no age restrictions it means that Instagram applied it automatically. In this case, quickly check the top 5 countries with the least Internet restrictions: Iceland-Estonia-Costa Rica-Canada-Georgia.
Country codes are IS-EE-CR-CA-GA
Sample input:
1{ 2 "proxy": { 3 "useApifyProxy": true, 4 "apifyProxyGroups": [ 5 "RESIDENTIAL" 6 ], 7 "countryCode": "GA" 8 }, 9 "resultsLimit": 1, 10 "username": [ 11 "https://www.instagram.com/nbcsports/" 12 ] 13}
Please note that only a single country code might be used under the single run, so to try 5 countries, you will need to do 5 runs. If a country code with profile access is found, use it for scraping.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks Alexey, I tried each proxa and none of those worked - probably the profile is set as restricted by the owner of the profile (age restriction). You can see my last attempt here https://console.apify.com/organization/FCl2ib1uN3qGvx2Zv/actors/tasks/cwAYU9rChtKWGXosR/runs/YPoqwUr7S9e15GQeU#output
Can I somehow apply a own cookie to a session or is there any other way? Thanks!
Hi!
No other way, cookies or login in any other form can not be used by the actor because of legal reasons.
