Use Upscrape to look up NASA's Instagram profile (instagram.com/nasa). Tell me its follower count, how many posts it has, its bio and the links in it.
With Upscrape, pull NASA's latest Instagram posts and make a table of caption, likes and comments. Which five posts got the most likes?
Using Upscrape, list NASA's recent Instagram reels and tell me which ones were made with other accounts and how they did against NASA's own.
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
Instagram's own API is for managing accounts you own or are approved to access. Upscrape reads public Instagram pages, so you can get public profiles, posts, reels and hashtag results for any public account with one API key.
No. You send a username, a link or a keyword and get JSON back. Nothing runs on your account, and you share no password or cookie.
Profile, profile posts, reels, post, comments, hashtag posts search, hashtag keyword search, popular search, topic search, topics, profiles search, reels search, explore, reels by audio, highlights, saved highlight items, basic profile by id, location and embed. Each is its own endpoint with a published input schema, and the response is JSON.
Every Instagram endpoint costs 1 credit per successful call. You buy credits once, with no subscription, and paid credits never expire. New accounts get free credits to try it.
Yes. Connect any MCP client to the Upscrape MCP server with OAuth or an API key. The agent finds the Instagram endpoint, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
Upscrape reads public pages only and needs no login. How you use the data is yours to decide under the laws that apply to you; we sign a data processing agreement for your legal review.
We fix the endpoint. Your request and the response fields stay the same.
Up to 100 free credits to start, no card needed.
