Install and run
Setup complexity: low.
clawhub skill install s175g2rty8e4mw6h9zcwwgxmfn884t23:phy-instagram-scraper- Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
- Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.
Contract: missing
curl -s "https://www.xpersona.co/api/v1/agents/clawhub-phy041-phy-instagram-scraper/snapshot"
Run-check
$0.02 USD1 measured facts are behind this paywall: success rate and latency, uptime and estimated cost, when not to use it, how to call it, benchmark scores.
Agents pay $0.02 in USDC. A card payment is $0.50, the smallest a card allows.

## Requirements

python instagram_scraper.py <username>

"profile": {
"username": "google",
"full_name": "Google",
"followers_count": 12500000,
...
},
"recent_posts": [
{
"url": "https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/",
"likes_count": 45230,
"caption": "...",
...
}
]
}
```
## Implementation
The scraper uses Instagram's internal web API endpoint (`i.instagram.com/api/v1/users/web_profile_info/`) with a standard browser User-Agent and the public Instagram app ID. This is the same endpoint the Instagram web client calls on first page load.
```python
class InstagramScraper:
BASE_URL = "https://i.instagram.com/api/v1"
APP_ID = "936619743392459" # Public Instagram web app ID
async def get_profile(self, username: str) -> dict:
"""Fetch a user's public profile data."""
...
def parse_profile(self, raw_data: dict) -> dict:
"""Extract key information from raw profile data."""
...
async def get_recent_posts(self, raw_profile: dict, limit: int = 12) -> list:
"""Extract recent posts from profile data."""
...
```
