❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our web scraping services.

Yes. Public Instagram profiles, posts, reels, and hashtag pages are accessible without authentication. We extract data from public accounts using headless browser automation — no account login required, which reduces the risk of bans and complies with public-data access norms.

From public profiles we extract: username, display name, bio, external link, follower/following counts, total post count, post images and video URLs, captions, hashtags, like counts, comment counts, post timestamps, location tags, and tagged accounts.

Yes. We monitor specific hashtags on a daily or weekly schedule, capturing recent posts, post authors, like counts, comment counts, and average engagement rates — ideal for trend analysis, influencer discovery, and UGC monitoring.

Yes. Instagram uses device fingerprinting, request-rate analysis, and behavioural signals to detect bots. We counter this with rotating residential proxies, human-like browser fingerprints, realistic scroll and pause behaviour, and conservative request pacing to avoid temporary blocks.
