Would you like an Instagram Scraper like this?

[rootjazz]

Hi, I would like to figure out if you would be interested in an Instagram scraper with this features:

My idea is to create a scraper which scrapes the followers of an specific account. To do this, the scraper would require a list of IG accounts (ID and pass) due to each account would scrape 200 followers profiles max per hour to be safe and avoid ban for a lot of requests using the unofficial IG API

You can definitely do more than 200 per hour and be safe.

(each account can scrape 200 profiles per minute).

Disagree there, maybe you can do that for 1 minute, but you do 200 a minute, for every minute, you WILL have issues

So, using a rotation list of 60 accounts, in an hour the scraper would get info from 12.000 profiles (288.000 in a day if the profile has over that amount of followers, or if I add a profile rotator when finish with one).

But sharing the requests is the right way to go about this

In addition to that, if the scraper use a VPN, it would be able to scrape many profiles at the same time using a single own account (now, multiply the result 60 times if I had 60 accounts to run the scraper). That because the limit of 200 requests is for each instance.

A VPN is not the best option as it limits to one account per time as you will need to reset the VPN often, use proxies which are designed to be used at the application level, routing each request through a different IP at the same time

The output, only for public profiles, would be a CSV file with this fields:

- User ID and URL
- Email*
- Phone number*
- Followers number
- Follows number
- Post numbers
- Description

* Email and phone numbers only if it’s available.

don't limit it, just convert the IG JSON response to CSV then you can output EVERYTHING IG has on the account (this is how the pro scrapers do it at the moment

I would want to know if you like a software like this to develop one. ¿What price would you recommend? ¿What kind of software would you prefer, an .exe or a webapp? ¿Have you other interesting ideas?

Thank you for your support!

Honestly, you would need to see it very cheap as programs already exist to do exactly what you specify and a lot LOT more.

Why limit it to just followers scrapes?
Why limit the results?

If you want to do something that people want, try and do something with locations, working out the location of an account (IG doesn't give it to you). That is probably something you could sell and I haven't seen any product do that well yet

Thank you very much @rootjazz for your detailed response and advice. I will take many of your comments if I finally decide to do this software

I'm interested. I prefer web based, or app that can be install in multi platform. Good luck.

There are quite some apps out there that do that so I'll go with a scraper for other social media platforms like TikTok or I would check what other scrapers are missing and I would add it so it will be different than others

After my access to to Turbo Marketer Instagram Followers Scraper ends I would like to test this tool because I'm looking for something like this. My experience with them is good and its user friendly but then i think your tool has a potential and i would like to test it if you want thanks.

What is the speed of turbo Marketer? I need one. What do you think of it since you are using this? And any issues with them?
