Instagram scraper API

Every Instagram scraper endpoint: 11 actions returning structured JSON from $0.003 per call. No proxies, no captchas, no infrastructure.

All 11 Instagram endpoints, from $0.003 per call. Each is callable as GET https://hproxy.com/api/v1/scrape/instagram/{action} (or POST with a JSON body) using a key with the scrape scope. No proxies, captchas or parsing to manage, it is all included in the price, and failed calls are never billed. See the full catalog for every platform, or the Instagram landing page for examples and use cases.
