A Python command-line crawler that scrapes Instagram posts, profiles, and hashtag data using Selenium and ChromeDriver, without the official Instagram API. It also includes an auto-liker bot that likes posts automatically.
Use cases
- scrape instagram posts without api
- download instagram profile data to
- fetch hashtag posts from instagram
- get instagram post comments and likers
- automatically like instagram posts
- export instagram user posts with captions and photos
When to choose
- you need Instagram data without API access or API rate limits
- you want a simple CLI to export posts, profiles, or hashtags as JSON
- you need to fetch comments, likers, or mentions from posts
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, guaranteed-working scraper (it breaks when Instagram changes its site)
- you need high-volume scraping at scale (browser automation is slow and rate-limited)
- you prefer official API compliance or need to avoid account-based automation risks
