Common questions about the Instagram Scraper API
Do I need to connect an Instagram account?
The feed endpoint requires a connected Instagram account. Public-profile and profile-export endpoints use public access. Every API request requires your Browsable API key. The tagged-posts endpoint reads public topic pages by hashtag; it does not provide a complete or chronological hashtag feed.
Can I get the comments or likes of a post?
We provide the count of likes and comments for each post. However, fetching the full list of comments or likers for a post is not currently offered as it significantly increases the scraping complexity and volume. We focus on summary engagement metrics.
Can I paginate through all posts for a hashtag?
No. The tagged-posts endpoint returns posts exposed on the initial public topic page. Instagram may redirect a hashtag to a related topic page.
