Scraping tools phone numbers

Hi I have several activities including smm resellers and software bots, but I would need powerful scraping tools of Italian phone numbers, possibly from social platforms, I saw on this forum a similar tool but it doesn't work well

There is a tool called scrapebox that has a phone scraping addon

With scrapebox is it possible to scrape even phone numbers from Instagram for a hashtag niche? @LarryM

I don't believe you can access phone numbers on instagram so you wouldn't have too much luck and would go through a ton of proxies but you might get some. I would def confirm that with someone who knows more about it than I do before you purchase scrapebox and the addons. BTW if you do purchase scrapebox if you add bhw to the end of the url theres a hefty discount for bhw people

my idea on instagram was not a heavy hack, but many put the number directly on the profile, I refer to company profiles, my instagram scraping referred to that @LarryM

If the phone number is accessible to you it would be accessible to a scraper. What I was worried about was you expecting phone numbers to be in the profile kind of like how facebook publicly has a lot of emails in peoples profiles when they dont change their privacy settings. I haven't dove into insta yet so I am not super familiar with the platform.

Yes, scrapebox can scrape phone numbers. It has a phone number scraper module, and a custom scraper where you can set your own strings/regexes.

I am Italian
but nowadays people no longer like to put their mobile phone number on the internet
so I don't think you will have much success in quantity and quality
that is valid numbers still active

I have databases from a few tens of millions of Italian cell phone numbers
but they are not obtained with bot scrapers but in the blackhat way
you will never take millions or tens of millions of numbers
with bot scraper not today and not in italia especially inside fb or instagram

whit bot scraper you will have bad results in terms of numbers and quality and you will lose your time also because
they are already scraped by everyone and massacred all the time

then change course to get the numbers

only my two cents


have a good day
