🚀 Why This Scraper?

✅ Full API data — Returns the complete Instagram response. Every field, nothing stripped out. New fields Instagram adds appear automatically.

✅ Engagement metrics on every post — Enable includeRecentPosts and each post comes with likes, comments, video views, and reshare status. Calculate engagement rates at scale without extra API calls. Detects when creators hide their metrics (hide_like_and_view_counts, comments_disabled).

✅ Enriched posts (optional) — Turn on includeRecentPosts to add recent posts with parsed hashtags, mentions, carousel images with individual dimensions, direct video URLs, alt text, tagged users, coauthor detection, and pinned post flags. Not just captions and likes. Off by default — profile-only runs are faster and cheaper.

✅ Bio links included — Full bio_links array with resolved URLs and Instagram tracking links (lynx_url). Most scrapers skip this.

✅ Related profiles — Instagram's own suggested accounts come back as a clean relatedProfiles array (username, name, verified, profile picture). Scrape one competitor → discover all similar accounts → scrape those too. Perfect for prospection loops.

✅ Cross-platform IDs — Get fbid and eimu_id to link Instagram profiles to their Meta/Facebook identity. Perfect for cross-platform enrichment.

✅ Direct video URLs — Get actual .mp4 video URLs for Reels and video posts, not just thumbnails. Multiple quality levels available via DASH manifests.

✅ Account trust signals — Spot fake or new accounts with is_joined_recently, check Meta Verified status, and detect Threads presence — all in one call.

✅ Ultra Fast — 500/min 🚀 — Pure HTTP requests, no browser.

✅ Cheapest on the Store — $1.00 per 1,000 profiles. No hidden fees. No browser overhead.
