Scraping API
Managed scraping API that returns page HTML or structured data while handling proxies, JavaScript rendering, and CAPTCHA challenges for you. Credits scale with render mode and hard domains such as Amazon, Google, or LinkedIn, so you can model unit cost before you buy volume.
Scraping API
Headless-browser scraping API for JS-heavy public pages, billed in credits across classic, premium, and stealth modes. Free credits let you smoke-test rendering and unblock behavior before you commit to a monthly bucket.
Scraping API
Universal Scraper API with transparent credit multipliers for JavaScript rendering and premium proxies. Includes a short trial so you can validate unblock modes before buying Developer, Startup, or Business buckets.
AI crawler
AI-oriented crawl and scrape API that returns LLM-ready markdown, HTML, or structured extracts from sites and sitemaps. Strong fit when your pipeline feeds agents or RAG rather than classic HTML parsing alone.

SERP API that returns structured JSON for Google and other search engines, including organic results, ads, and rich features. Best when your unit of work is a search, not a full page scrape.
Cloud scraping platform
Cloud scraping platform with a marketplace of Actors, scheduling, datasets, and proxies. Prepaid platform usage funds compute (CUs) while many Actors also bill pay-per-event, so total cost depends on which scrapers you run.
No-code scraper
No-code robot builder that trains on your clicks to extract and monitor website data. Built for operators who want Google Sheets or webhook outputs without writing scrapers.

Crawling API billed per successful request with rates by domain complexity and regular vs JavaScript paths, plus Smart AI Proxy monthly credit plans for proxy-style integration.

Flat monthly Scraping API priced by concurrent threads with unlimited requests inside the tier. JavaScript rendering, rotating proxies, and anti-bot handling are included without credit multipliers.
Choosing an Instagram scraper starts with clarifying the job: public profile research, hashtag or brand monitoring, creative competitive intel, or content corpora for analysis. Growth-hacking, account farming, and terms evasion are out of scope for ScraperDB - we only help you shortlist tools for authorized public-data workflows.
Instagram is mobile-first and heavily defended. Teams usually evaluate managed scraping APIs with JS/premium modes (ScraperAPI, ScrapingBee, ZenRows), actor platforms like Apify, or no-code scrapers such as Browse AI. Layout and anti-bot changes are frequent, so ops resilience matters as much as raw fetch success.
Prefer vendors with clear docs, retries, usage pricing you can forecast, and an ops model your team can maintain. Free tiers on the free scrapers hub help validate selectors; production cost should be modeled after premium/render modes, not basic credits. If you need LLM-ready text, also compare AI crawlers.
Social research often spans multiple platforms. Pair this hub with X scrapers, Facebook scrapers, or Reddit scrapers when your listening stack covers more than Instagram. Keep each comparison inside authorized public data and the billing unit the vendor actually sells.
Only collect public data you are authorized to access. Follow each platform’s terms, robots rules, and applicable law. ScraperDB does not publish bypass or evasion guides.
A practical shortlist process before you commit budget.
Define what you are allowed to collect. Drop any requirement that depends on evasion or unauthorized access before you shortlist tools.
Recurring brand monitors favor scheduling and alerts. One-off research favors flexible API extracts. Pick the category that matches ownership.
Shortlist only tools that document browser-capable fetch and premium proxies if your sample needs them - then pilot that paid mode.
Confirm captions, timestamps, engagement fields, and media URLs your pipeline needs before you commit annual volume.
Match the job to the category before comparing brand names.
Engineering-owned pulls of public URLs with JS and premium proxy modes.
Actor marketplaces and scheduled social research workflows.
Marketing or research ops teams need monitors without code.
You want text/markdown corpora from public pages for analysis - not engagement automation.
Only within Instagram’s terms and applicable law, for data you are authorized to access. We do not endorse ToS abuse.
Pilot a managed scraping API and a platform or no-code option on the same public sample. Pick the one that hits your fields at a cost you can sustain.
Often for harder public views. Confirm whether your vendor’s premium mode is required on your sample and include that multiplier in cost models.
No-code fits operator-owned monitors - see Browse AI. APIs fit engineering pipelines and higher volume.
No. We compare tools for authorized public-data workflows and mark unknowns instead of inventing bypass guides.
