Overview

Extract public data from Instagram posts, Reels, profiles, and hashtags. Get follower counts, like and comment metrics, and media URLs to track competitors, vet influencers, or analyze trends.

This tool extracts a wide range of public data from Instagram, providing a structured dataset for analysis. It can target specific posts, user profiles, hashtags, locations, and more, making it a flexible solution for gathering social media intelligence. ### What You Can Extract Based on the URLs you provide, you can retrieve detailed information about posts and the profiles that published them. For each post, you'll get the caption, like and comment counts, creation date, and direct URLs to the images or videos. For video content like Reels, it captures play counts and duration. The tool also gathers key data about the account owner, including their username, follower and following counts, total number of posts, and whether their account is verified. This is invaluable for influencer marketing, competitor analysis, and brand monitoring. ### How to Use It You can start with a list of different Instagram URLs—posts, profiles, or hashtag pages. The tool allows you to set limits on the total number of items you want to extract, and you can also filter for content published after a specific date. This is useful for monitoring recent activity or collecting data from a specific campaign period.
