Overview
This skill provides a two-phase Instagram scraping system: Profile Discovery Browser Scraping
Features
๐ - Discover Instagram profiles by location and category ๐ - Full browser simulation for accurate scraping ๐ก๏ธ - Browser fingerprinting, human behavior simulation, and stealth scripts ๐ - Profile info, stats, images, and engagement data ๐พ - JSON/CSV export with downloaded thumbnails ๐ - Resume interrupted scraping sessions โก - Auto-skip private accounts, low followers, empty profiles ๐ - Built-in residential proxy support with 4 providers Getting Google API Credentials (Optional) Go to Google Cloud Console Create a new project or select existing Enable "Custom Search API" Create API credentials โ API Key Go to Programmable Search Engine Create a search engine with instagram.com as the site to search Copy the Search Engine ID
Agent Tool Interface
For OpenClaw agent integration, the skill provides JSON output: # Discover profiles (returns JSON) discover --location "Miami" --category "fitness" --output json # Scrape single profile (returns JSON) scrape --username influencer123 --output json
Profile Data Structure
{ "username": "example_user", "full_name": "Example User", "bio": "Fashion blogger | NYC", "followers": 125000, "following": 1500, "posts_count": 450, "is_verified": false, "is_private": false, "influencer_tier": "mid", "category": "fashion", "location": "New York", "profile_pic_local": "thumbnails/example_user/profile_abc123.jpg", "content_thumbnails": [ "thumbnails/example_user/content_1_def456.jpg", "thumbnails/example_user/content_2_ghi789.jpg" ], "post_engagement": [ {"post_url": "https://instagram.com/p/ABC123/", "likes": 5420, "comments": 89} ], "scrape_timestamp": "2025-02-09T14:30:00" }

File Outputs
Queue files: data/queue/{location}_{category}_{timestamp}.json Scraped data: data/output/{username}.json Thumbnails: thumbnails/{username}/profile_*.jpg, thumbnails/{username}/content_*.jpg Export files: data/export_{timestamp}.json, data/export_{timestamp}.csv
Configuration
Edit config/scraper_config.json: { "proxy": { "enabled": false, "provider": "brightdata", "country": "", "sticky": true, "sticky_ttl_minutes": 10 }, "google_search": { "enabled": true, "api_key": "", "search_engine_id": "", "queries_per_location": 3 }, "scraper": { "headless": false, "min_followers": 1000, "download_thumbnails": true, "max_thumbnails": 6 }, "cities": ["New York", "Los Angeles", "Miami", "Chicago"], "categories": ["fashion", "beauty", "fitness", "food", "travel", "tech"] }
Filters Applied
The scraper automatically filters out: โ Private accounts โ Accounts with < 1,000 followers (configurable) โ Accounts with no posts โ Non-existent/removed accounts โ Already scraped accounts (deduplication)
Login Issues
Ensure credentials are correct Handle verification codes when prompted Wait if rate limited (the script will auto-retry)
No Profiles Discovered
Check Google API key and quota Verify Search Engine ID is configured for instagram.com Try different location/category combinations
Rate Limiting
Reduce scraping speed (increase delays in config) Run during off-peak hours Use a residential proxy (see below)
Why Use a Residential Proxy?
Running a scraper at scale without a residential proxy will get your IP blocked fast. Here's why proxies are essential for long-running scrapes: AdvantageDescriptionAvoid IP BansResidential IPs look like real household users, not data-center bots. Instagram is far less likely to flag them.Automatic IP RotationEach request (or session) gets a fresh IP, so rate-limits never stack up on one address.Geo-TargetingRoute traffic through a specific country/city so scraped content matches the target audience's locale.Sticky SessionsKeep the same IP for a configurable window (e.g. 10 min) โ critical for maintaining a consistent browsing session.Higher Success RateRotating residential IPs deliver 95%+ success rates compared to ~30% with data-center proxies on Instagram.Long-Running ScrapesScrape thousands of profiles over hours or days without interruption.Concurrent ScrapingRun multiple browser instances across different IPs simultaneously.
Recommended Proxy Providers
We have affiliate partnerships with top residential proxy providers. Using these links supports continued development of this skill: ProviderBest ForSign UpBright DataWorld's largest network, 72M+ IPs, enterprise-grade๐ Get Bright DataIProyalPay-as-you-go, 195+ countries, no traffic expiry๐ Get IProyalStorm ProxiesFast & reliable, developer-friendly API, competitive pricing๐ Get Storm ProxiesNetNutISP-grade network, 52M+ IPs, direct connectivity๐ Get NetNut
Setup Steps
1. Get Your Proxy Credentials Sign up with any provider above, then grab: Username (from your provider dashboard) Password (from your provider dashboard) Host and Port are pre-configured per provider (or use custom) 2. Configure via Environment Variables export PROXY_ENABLED=true export PROXY_PROVIDER=brightdata # brightdata | iproyal | stormproxies | netnut | custom export PROXY_USERNAME=your_user export PROXY_PASSWORD=your_pass export PROXY_COUNTRY=us # optional: two-letter country code export PROXY_STICKY=true # optional: keep same IP per session 3. Provider-Specific Host/Port Defaults These are auto-configured when you set the provider name: ProviderHostPortBright Databrd.superproxy.io22225IProyalproxy.iproyal.com12321Storm Proxiesrotating.stormproxies.com9999NetNutgw-resi.netnut.io5959 Override with PROXY_HOST / PROXY_PORT env vars if your plan uses a different gateway. 4. Custom Proxy Provider For any other proxy service, set provider to custom and supply host/port manually: { "proxy": { "enabled": true, "provider": "custom", "host": "your.proxy.host", "port": 8080, "username": "user", "password": "pass" } }
Running the Scraper with Proxy
Once configured, the scraper picks up the proxy automatically โ no extra flags needed: # Discover and scrape as usual โ proxy is applied automatically python main.py discover --location "Miami" --category "fitness" python main.py scrape --username influencer123 # The log will confirm proxy is active: # INFO - Proxy enabled: <ProxyManager provider=brightdata enabled host=brd.superproxy.io:22225> # INFO - Browser using proxy: brightdata โ brd.superproxy.io:22225
Using the Proxy Manager Programmatically
from proxy_manager import ProxyManager # From config (auto-reads config/scraper_config.json) pm = ProxyManager.from_config() # From environment variables pm = ProxyManager.from_env() # Manual construction pm = ProxyManager( provider="brightdata", username="your_user", password="your_pass", country="us", sticky=True ) # For Playwright browser context proxy = pm.get_playwright_proxy() # โ {"server": "http://brd.superproxy.io:22225", "username": "user-country-us-session-abc123", "password": "pass"} # For requests / aiohttp proxies = pm.get_requests_proxy() # โ {"http": "http://user:pass@host:port", "https": "http://user:pass@host:port"} # Force new IP (rotates session ID) pm.rotate_session() # Debug info print(pm.info())
Best Practices for Long-Running Scrapes
Use sticky sessions โ Instagram requires consistent IPs during a browsing session. Set "sticky": true. Target the right country โ Set "country": "us" (or your target region) so Instagram serves content in the expected locale. Combine with existing anti-detection โ This scraper already has fingerprinting, stealth scripts, and human behavior simulation. The proxy is the final layer. Rotate sessions between batches โ Call pm.rotate_session() between large batches of profiles to get a fresh IP. Use delays โ Even with proxies, respect delay_between_profiles in config to avoid aggressive patterns. Monitor your proxy dashboard โ All providers have dashboards showing bandwidth usage and success rates.
