🚀 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 — Likes, comments, video views, and reshare status included on each post. Calculate engagement rates at scale without extra API calls. Detects when creators hide their metrics (hide_like_and_view_counts, comments_disabled).

✅ Enriched posts — Recent posts come 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.

✅ 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 edge_related_profiles suggestions included. 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.
