i was hoping to scrape instagram of some user emails using scrapebox but i seem not to have success. Just wanted to ask around if anybody here is having the same problem. im using datacenter/rotating proxies for this. I will really appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks

With octoparse, you search for the links on google, do an advanced Instagram task (there are tutorials on YT). And ready.

Scrapebox is capable, but insta relies heavily on javscript. So if the mails you want are either protected or produced by a script then it won't work. however if they are not protected or produced then it will work.

Basically load a url that has an email you want, but load the page with javascript turned off in your browser. If you can see the email, then scrapebox probably can as well. If you can not see the email then scrapebox probably can not.
 
I would recommend you to try a VPN or Proxy to avoid getting banned and make sure that octoparse will work on a 100%
 
You can scrape the emails from bio or from the business pages with email button.
I scraped ig emails in the past and there are 2 ways to do this:
1. Searching on google using search operators(like scrapebox does) and scrape the emails from the google results, this will return less emails because not all ig accounts are indexed by google.
2. Using a custom bot, scraping a list with usernames from hashtags, explore or followers/likes and then check on every profile if is business account with email button or have an email address in bio(check the bio with regex). This will take more time usually but you can get tons of emails

Used both ways, for both you need proxies, for 2nd you need trashy ig accounts(non pva work good).
 
thanks for dropping by mat, i havnt used sbox in about 5 yrs so
i wasnt to sure on the insta thing. cheers
 
There is a thread on the market here is bhw I think special for this. I forgot his name though. Best of luck with your research

i will try loading the page without js and see if i will get any result. Thank you @loopline for dropping a comment here, glad you did.

i hardly uses google engine to scrape for results - bing and yahoo have been my go to for scraping these days. They are less strict on my proxies. thank you for dropping your comment
