A PHP library that scrapes Instagram via its web version to fetch account information, photos, videos, stories, and comments, with optional credential-based login and session caching. It exists because getting an approved Instagram API application is difficult.
Use cases
- scrape instagram account info in php
- download instagram photos and videos without official api
- get instagram stories and comments programmatically
- fetch instagram media by username
- monitor instagram profiles without app approval
When to choose
- you need Instagram data in a PHP project without an approved Instagram app
- you want optional login with cached sessions and proxy support
- you need both authenticated and unauthenticated scraping
When to avoid
- you need a fully supported, ToS-compliant official API
- your stack is not PHP
- you cannot tolerate breakage when Instagram changes its web endpoints
