⚡ Performance

• Residential proxy protection on every run — no direct IP exposure
• GraphQL pagination with automatic v1 API fallback
• 50 results per page, runs fast on most public accounts

---

🚧 Limitations

• Private accounts are skipped gracefully — no wasted retries
• Results depend on Instagram availability and pagination depth
• Very large exports should be split across multiple runs for best results

---

💰 Pricing

Pay per delivered result. Free tier is open enough to properly test before scaling. Paid runs are for production workloads and larger exports.

📌 Notes

Start small to validate output before running large jobs. Use public profiles only. Split large account lists across runs if needed.

If something is not working as expected, open an issue and it will be reviewed promptly.
