Overview

Scrape public Instagram profiles to get follower counts, post engagement metrics like likes and comments, and full post captions. Ideal for competitor analysis and content strategy research.

This tool extracts key data points from public Instagram profiles and their recent posts. It's designed for marketers, agencies, and analysts who need to benchmark performance, analyze content strategies, or vet influencers without manually copying and pasting from the app. ### Profile and Post Metrics For any list of Instagram usernames, you can retrieve core profile information including their biography, follower and following counts, verification status, and business category. The scraper also pulls in data for their most recent posts, capturing the caption text, like and comment counts, and direct URLs to the media. You can specify how many posts to retrieve for each profile, with options to include Reels alongside standard posts. ### Deeper Analysis with Optional Features For more granular analysis, the tool can be configured to scrape the full text of comments on each post. Additionally, it offers an AI-powered sentiment analysis feature. By connecting your own AI provider (like OpenAI or Google), you can automatically classify post captions and comments as positive, negative, or neutral, adding a qualitative layer to your quantitative data. ### How to Use It Reliably Instagram protects its data from automated access. For the most reliable results, this tool requires you to provide session cookies from your own logged-in Instagram account. This makes the tool's requests look like they are coming from a normal user, which is necessary for accessing profile and post data consistently. The process involves using a free browser extension to export the cookies and pasting them into the tool's input.
