CrawlHub: The Instagram Data Layer

Instagram holds a huge amount of information about creators, their content, and their audiences. But getting to it is hard. Instagram's own API is restrictive, slow to approve, and often doesn't give you what you actually need.

CrawlHub is the shortcut. We turn Instagram into a data source you can build with.

Point us at a profile, a post, or a link. Get back everything you can see on Instagram, structured and ready for your code. Full profile details, all their posts, stories, highlights, comments, likers, followers. The way Instagram displays it, but ready to work with.

What you can pull

Profiles: bio, follower count, verification, links, business info.
Posts: photos, videos, Reels, carousels, with likes, comments, views, tagged users, and music.
Stories: the 24-hour reels, plus everything overlaid on them (polls, mentions, music, links).
Highlights: both the covers on someone's profile and the stories saved inside each one.
Comments and replies: the full conversation on any post, including who liked which comment.
Followers and following lists: see who's in someone's orbit.
Post likers: see who tapped the heart.

Anything you can see on Instagram, we can pull.
