❓ FAQ

🔍 How does it work? The scraper accesses Instagram's public profile pages without requiring login. It rotates sessions to avoid rate limits and collects visible profile information in seconds.

📊 Is the data accurate? Yes. We extract data directly from Instagram's public profile information, so follower counts, biography, and other fields match what you see on the profile itself.

📅 Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to run this actor daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule. Results are stored in your dataset and can be exported anytime.

⚖️ Is scraping Instagram allowed? Instagram's Terms of Service may restrict automated data collection. Publicly available profile information is generally acceptable, but users should respect rate limits and local laws. Users are responsible for complying with Instagram's terms and applicable regulations.

🛡️ Will Instagram block me? Instagram monitors for excessive requests. For collecting more than 20 profiles in one run, we strongly recommend using residential proxies (available with paid plans). These rotate through real device IPs to avoid request limits.

⚡ How long does a run take? Typically 1-2 seconds per profile with proper proxy rotation. A batch of 100 profiles takes 2-3 minutes.

⚠️ Are there any limits? Free users can collect up to 100 results per run. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.
