How It Works

1. Launches a stealth Chrome browser (anti-detection enabled)
2. Visits Instagram to establish an anonymous session
3. Makes API calls from inside the browser — Instagram sees a real browser, not a bot
4. Falls back to page navigation + network intercept if the API is blocked

Anti-Detection

• Stealth Playwright with puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth
• Real browser TLS fingerprint (not Node.js)
• Removes navigator.webdriver flag
• Realistic viewport, locale, and User-Agent
• Randomized delays between profiles

Cost Estimate

$2.50 per 1,000 results. Residential proxies recommended for best results.
