Hey guys, I’m looking to connect with people that are still scraping in 2026. I managed to create a huge operation with ai, and scraped over 50 million emails from instagram. Is anyone here doing something similar? Im new to to Mpsocial, not sure if this is the right place to discuss instagram scraping
Its 2026 and i scraped over 50 million emails from instagram

50 million is a huge dataset. What tools are you using to manage and verify the data at that scale?
i didnt use any tool to validate the emails as i was scraping for clients , they would validate the emails themselves, i can ask if you need

50 million is a massive dataset, but I’d be careful with how those emails were collected and whether people consented to their use. I’d also want to know how you’re validating the data and keeping duplicates and outdated addresses out.

Scraping emails at that scale raises serious privacy and compliance concerns. I’d focus on opt-in lead generation and properly permissioned data instead. It’s more sustainable and helps avoid deliverability issues and platform restrictions.

that is a lot of information to process at once. i m more interestted in how u maintain the email addresses, since scraped lists tend to become out of date rather quickly. are u using the information for outreach or just creating a list right now?
thats fairly easy, i use ai to validate all my list, back in the days it used to be hard and messy, i had a lot of seperate files , now i created a huge databse where i can just export what i need,
still not sure, i was scraping for my clients, they usally use it for their ugc marketing agencies or influencer marketing agencies
i agree, but my clients are making a lot of money with these lists, up to them what to do with the data
my clients used the lists for cold outreach for their agencies

are you selling this data or using it for yourself? with that amount of emails you can make a lot of money if you know how to use it. In 2026 its super tuff to scrape new emails, and you have fresh data which is super important to convert into dollars
50 million emails is an outrageous figure for one task.i would rather be concerned about the way u control the quality nd duplicates in such numbers rather than the sheer amount of emails. does ur data become useless after some period of time or u need to refresh it regularlly?
