Instagram Post Scraper

Tutorial

  1. Connect to Instagram using PhantomBuster's browser extension

    This automation will act on your behalf on Instagram. The safest and most efficient way for the Phantom to connect to your account is by using your session cookie, which you can retrieve using PhantomBuster's browser extension. It's a simple 2-click installation:

    If you're operating from another browser, you can find your cookie manually.

    Note:

    Every time you log into Instagram, a new cookie is created for that "session," so you must be logged in (and stay logged in) on your browser to provide a working cookie.

  2. Give the URLs of the Instagram posts you're interested in

    You have two options:

    1. Process a single post
    Copy the Instagram post URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

    2. Process multiple posts
    Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the Instagram post URLs and paste them into your spreadsheet - one URL per row, all in column A.

    Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.

    Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

  3. Specify the number of posts to process per launch

    Tell the Phantom how many posts you would like it to process each time it launches.

    It's always best to follow the recommendations given and not process too many at once in order to keep your account safe.

    If the Phantom does not process all of the posts in your input spreadsheet during a launch, it will pick up from where it left off in the next launch.

  4. Set the Phantom on repeat

    Automation always produces better results in the long run. Set the Phantom to launch repeatedly and get results while you're away!

    This Phantom runs from the cloud, which means you don't even need to have your browser open or computer on for these launches to happen.
