Even with a very small budget, you can find a developer that will change this data to your preferred, spreadsheets for example.
Hmm yea, that was the method I used before when the API was working. You can get around 3 profile loads before it asks you to login, I guess it would be a cheaper solution to scrape 3rd party websites for the data.
I will give you my own script using instagram Api that does the job pretty well without getting blocked.
What data are you interested in? There are at least two methods depending on the type of data
Follower/following count and avatar.
I am new to these seo things, so forgive me is I ask silly question pls.
DOM parsing & a lot of unique proxies would do the trick
This method hasn't worked for a while. (IG is weird i've seen them open n close that ?__a=1 endpoint a few times)
import requests
import json
target = "cats"
url = "https://www.instagram.com/" + target
params = {'__a': 1, '__d': 'dis'}
s = requests.Session()
r = s.get(url, params=params, headers=None)
data = r.json()
print (json.dumps(data,indent=4))
print (data['graphql']['user']['id'])
