Instagram Scraper FAQs

Proxies are important for scraping Instagram because it allows the scraper to remain anonymous, avoid IP blocking, access geo-restricted content, and improve scraping speed.

Having an unblocking solution when scraping Instagram is important because many websites have anti-scraping measures that block the scraper’s IP address or require CAPTCHA solving. The unblocking solution implemented within Bright Data’s web scraping solutions are designed to bypass these obstacles and continue gathering data without interruption.

When scraping Instagram , you may only scrape publicly available data. Due to our commitment to privacy laws, we do not allow scraping behind log-ins.

Our privacy practices comply with data protection laws, including the EU data protection regulatory framework, GDPR, and CCPA – respecting requests to exercise privacy rights and more.
