Every request exits through HProxy's own residential network, so it looks like a real user on a real device.

Pay per call

No subscription, no seat licenses. Calls are billed from your balance and the balance never expires.

Fresh on every call

Instagram Scraper FAQ

How does the Instagram scraper API work?
You send one HTTPS request to the endpoint you need with your API key, and HProxy handles the rest server-side: proxies, sessions, retries and parsing. The response is clean, structured JSON. No headless browser, no captcha solving, no parser maintenance on your side.
What Instagram data can I get?
11 ready-made endpoints cover the public Instagram surface: profiles, content, engagement, search and more. Every endpoint returns the full structured object, not a stripped-down summary.
How much does it cost?
Pricing starts at $3.00 per 1,000 calls (0.3¢ per call), billed from your HProxy balance. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum. You top up once and the balance never expires.
Do I need proxies to scrape Instagram?
No. The scraper runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. You only make one API call, and the proxy layer is included in the per-call price.
Is scraping Instagram allowed?
The API only accesses publicly available data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Instagram's terms for your use case.
How fast and reliable is it?
Calls typically return in a few seconds. Failed extractions are retried automatically and unrecoverable failures are not charged, so you only pay for JSON you actually receive.
