Does Instagram allow scraping?

nstagram does not generally allow web scraping. According to Instagram’s terms of service and platform policy, users are prohibited from accessing or using Instagram’s private API, scraping, caching, or storing any Instagram content (including user information, photos, and videos).

Using automated means, such as bots or scrapers, to access, collect, or use Instagram’s data is a violation of their terms and could result in legal consequences or suspension or termination of your account. So, in this article we only cover the methods that don’t require login information.

How to scrape Instagram without getting banned?

There are 2 main types of bans that can be used by Instagram: account ban and IP address ban.

  • Account ban: Your Instagram profile can be banned if you use its login information for a scraping script. To avoid this ban, we don’t use any methods requiring login in this article.
  • IP ban: if you send too many requests to Instagram from the same IP address, Instagram will temporarely block it. To avoid this ban, automatically rotate IP address on every request.
