⚠️ Warning

Dear people,

Instagram doing lots of changes in their APIs and Endpoints, hence lots of issues occurring everywhere. We are in the phase to observe all the changes and will come up with the final solution. Till then we are apologies for the inconvenience caused.


⭐ Instagram-Data-Scraper V 2.6 (Beta) - Last Updated : 11th May 2021


As I had promised @useraccount search is now available now. You have to set your own Instagram session ID to pull account search. You can follow the instructions to get SESSION ID. Just log in to your Instagram account and copy the session id from your browser (click to 'Set session' button to get more help).


🙈 What is Instagram Data Scraper?

Instagram Data Scraper is a PHP script that takes @username or #hashtag as input and returns all information related to users e.g. likes, comments, post counts, images, likes on images etc.

Currently only the User's Name, Biography, Followers, Following, Posts, Likes, Comments & Views data in displaying. For other details you have to enable from PHP script code, Update Controller/Instagram Class "public $result_type = 'JSON' or 'ARRAY';"

jQuery is being used to build Awesome Views, to handle each and every request separately. I hope you like this small chunk of code :)

✏️ Development Notes:

  • Instagram Data Scraper can fetch #hashtag likes, views, top posts (10), comments, keywords count.
  • You can set N Depth Level Search by editing JavaScript code, currently it's 4 levels see. 'this.maxRequestNo = 4;' in core.js file. The depth control currently set for only keyword Search, Account Search is still open without any limit, but in future, you may see Depth Controller for Account Search too.
  • You may have Depth Search Controller in a future release.
  • Instagram Scraper doesn't follow any Standard API Rules (Because it's POC/Demo purpose only). If you thinking to make this as Commercial the Have OWN INSTAGRAM VALID API ACCESS, MODIFY THE REQUEST PART & ENJOY!
  • Currently, Instagram Scraper works on Purely Scrape Method, there is no API implemented. It's open some Instagram link which returns JSON data and then application creating view by business logic.
  • The Instagram links are uncertain and may change at any time so please don't depend on them and have VALID INSTAGRAM API to BUILD APPLICATION. Below are some examples:
