  "instagramUsername": "your_username",
  "instagramPassword": "your_password",
  "resultsLimit": 100,
  "resultsType": "all",
  "minLikes": 100,
  "scrapeComments": true
}

Output

Each post is one dataset item. No-login example:

{
  "shortcode": "DZkOgM5zvkp",
  "url": "https://www.instagram.com/p/DZkOgM5zvkp/",
  "caption_text": "Beautiful sunset #travel #sunset",
  "hashtags": ["travel", "sunset"],
  "username": "traveler123",
  "media_type_name": "video",
  "product_type": "clips",
  "display_url": "https://...",
  "taken_at": "2026-06-14T12:19:18+00:00",
  "data_tier": "basic"
}

Login mode adds: like_count, comment_count, view_count, video_url, width, height, location_name, music_title, tagged_users, carousel_media, and more.

Important Notes

• Use a secondary Instagram account if providing credentials. Automated logins carry ban risk.
• Without login, you get ~7-8 fields per post. With login, 30+ fields.
• Built-in residential proxy with automatic IP rotation.
• If CHALLENGE_REQUIRED: open Instagram app, complete verification, then retry.

How It Works

No Login: Fetches hashtag page and post detail pages, extracts data from Instagram's embedded page content (RelayPrefetchedStreamCache).

With Login: Uses Instagram's mobile API via instagrapi for full data access — likes, comments, video URLs, location details, music info, and more.

Both modes use built-in residential proxies with automatic IP rotation for maximum reliability.
