A developer-friendly template to collect public Instagram data (profiles, posts, comments, followers) with modular drivers (Playwright/Selenium or headless API wrappers), resilience against blocks, and structured JSON/CSV exports. Built for teams who value compliance-aware, rate-limited scraping.
- Saves time and automates setup.
- Scalable for multiple use cases.
- Safer with anti-detect and proxy logic.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Configurable Drivers | Choose Playwright or Selenium with stealth options. |
| Proxy & Rotation | Supports residential/mobile proxies with per-task rotation. |
| Rate-Limit Guard | Backoff + jitter + human-like delays to reduce blocks. |
| Data Pipelines | Export to JSON/CSV/SQLite; schema-first mapping. |
| Session Vault | Persist cookies/sessions; auto-refresh flows. |
- Competitive research and market analysis
- Creator/brand discovery and lead enrichment
- Social listening and hashtag trend tracking
- Content cataloging and performance benchmarking
Q: How do you protect from scraping?
A: This repo includes layered protections: request pacing with randomized backoff, user-agent and viewport variance, proxy rotation per job, and session reuse to lower anomaly spikes. It also supports selective field fetching (only what you need) to minimize request volume and exposure.
Q: Can screen scraping be detected?
A: Yes. Platforms flag patterns like high-frequency requests, identical fingerprints, and repeated navigation flows. Mitigation includes human-like timings, realistic mouse/scroll events (in browser mode), diversified fingerprints, and strict concurrency caps.
Q: What data can you scrape from Instagram?
A: Publicly available items such as profile metadata (bio, external URL, followers/following counts), public posts (captions, media URLs, like/comment counts, timestamps), comments (text, author, time), and hashtag/top-post summaries. Private or gated data is out of scope.
