Instagram Posts Scraper API
for public accounts, by handle
Pull the latest posts from any public Instagram account by handle. One request returns each post with its caption, hashtags, likes, comments, media URLs, and timestamp as clean JSON. No tokens, no headless browsers.

Instagram renders the feed client-side. Your parser shouldn't care.
- Posts loaded by script, not in the HTML
- Media URLs behind expiring CDN links
- Feed paged by an opaque cursor
- Login walls on public profiles
- Re-parse the feed after each app change
One GET Request. That's the whole integration.
Start with just a query. Add more parameters when your use case needs them.

Great web scraping API which is incredibly easy to use. It requires minimal effort to get up and running, and the documentation is very clear and helpful.
I needed to scrape some information they didn't already support, and they wrote the code for me right away, which was super nice of them.
We were particularly impressed with how easily we could integrate HasData into our existing workflow.

Questions, answered
The latest posts for a public Instagram handle: each post's caption, hashtags, mentions, like and comment counts, media URLs, dimensions, and timestamp, plus the account they belong to. Pass a handle and, optionally, how many posts you want.
No. This reads public data by handle, so there is nothing to authenticate, no app review, and no headless browser to run. You're responsible for using the results in line with Instagram's terms and applicable law.
Twelve by default. Set the limit parameter to ask for more, and use the nextPageToken from each response to page through the rest of the account.
Yes. This endpoint returns an account's recent posts. For the account-level snapshot, bio, follower counts, and links, the Instagram Profile Scraper API covers that view.
Per successful request. One request is one page of posts for a handle. A failed request costs nothing.
Yes, a one-time trial of 100 post feeds with every field included. No credit card required. When you're done testing, pick a plan that fits your volume.
One request costs 10 credits. The unit price drops with volume, from about $2.45 down to $0.75 per 1,000 post feeds. Need more than the top plan covers? We'll set a custom rate.
No. Requests run on HasData's infrastructure, so there's nothing to provision or maintain. You're responsible for using the results in line with each target site's terms and applicable law.
