Overview

Scrapes Instagram for posts matching your keywords, delivering data like captions, engagement counts, and media URLs. Use it to track brand mentions, analyze competitors, or find user-generated content.

This tool automates the process of finding and extracting data from Instagram posts based on specific keywords or phrases. Instead of manually searching and copying information, you provide a list of search terms, and it returns a structured dataset of matching posts, ready for analysis. The data for each post includes the full caption, engagement metrics (likes, comments, and views), the username and profile URL of the person who posted, the date it was published, and direct links to the images or videos. It also captures secondary details like hashtags used, users mentioned, location information (if provided), and whether the post is a carousel or an ad. ### Who is this for? * **Marketing Agencies:** Track campaign hashtags, monitor competitor content, and find user-generated content (UGC) for clients. * **Brand Managers:** Monitor brand mentions and sentiment by searching for your brand or product names. * **Market Researchers:** Identify emerging trends, popular aesthetics, and consumer conversations within a specific niche. * **Content Creators & Influencers:** Research popular content formats and topics in your field to inform your own strategy. To use this tool, you must provide your Instagram session cookies. This is required because Instagram only allows searches for logged-in users. This process makes the tool behave like your own browser, enabling it to perform the searches you request.
