Scrape public Instagram profiles, posts, comments, reels, and hashtags. Public routes are tried first; supply an Instagram session cookie for login-gated workflows. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
Partial profile batches now show a concise run status with saved profile/post counts and clarify that unresolved profiles are not charged.

Reliability
Post URL and comments modes now retry through Instagram's authenticated media endpoint when a session cookie is supplied, and clearly fail with every unresolved shortcode instead of silently succeeding with missing output.
Hashtag discovery now uses a direct route before residential fallback, and unresolved post pages use bounded proxy retries to reduce runtime and proxy transfer without removing coverage.
Changes
Documentation and public examples now state which workflows require an Instagram session and no longer advertise a cookie-free comments task that Instagram currently rejects.

Reliability
Partial profile and posts batches now identify every unresolved username and fail the run after preserving successful output, instead of silently reporting complete success with missing inputs.

Reliability
Profile and posts modes now fail clearly when Instagram rejects every profile lookup route, instead of reporting success with an empty dataset. The error explains when a logged-in session cookie is required.

Reliability
Restored authenticated mentions scraping after Instagram removed a field used by its web profile query. Mentions now use a separate authenticated profile lookup and fail clearly instead of reporting success with no results when Instagram rejects the required requests.

Updated the default comment limit to match the documented 20 comments per post.
2026-04-18
Improved profile scraping reliability with user-agent rotation and a fallback search endpoint when Instagram blocks the primary profile endpoint.

Added hashtag search, date filtering, richer post and profile fields, plus authenticated hashtag-post and mentions scraping modes.
