Q: Hi Guillaume, Is it possible to get data from Instagram?
If so, what are the Instagram fields I can get?
Is there a chance of my IG account being blocked using CaptainData?
Can I search users by hashtag?
I look forward to your reply and become a customer!
Thank you and good luck!

May 15, 2024A: Hey, thank you for your message!
Yes, we do have Instagram automations š¤
I can't oversell and tell you there's 0% risk.
What I can say though is that we make everything we can to avoid this.
Limits on Instagram are very strict and we follow them thoroughly - you can even change them yourself.
If you extract posts by hashtags, you will obtain the list of users attached to each posts! So yes, you can get users.
And then you'll be able to enrich such users :)
If you want to enrich users directly by handle (username), you can also.
Hope it helps - happy to see you becoming one of our customers āļø
grooviecan you scrape also their emails?
We don't get emails at the moment - you need to be on the mobile version, for public profiles, to do so.
We are working on a workaround though š

Hi,
Just to confirm. I can extract posts from Instagram hashtags and as a result I will have a list of all IG users which that posted with this specific hastag, right?
What is the daily limit for scraping IG posts by CaptainData?
Is there a flow already in place so that I can start using CaptainData with the needs I mentioned above?
Thank you again!
