Instagram Profile Scraper

Overview

The Instagram Profile Scraper preset allows users to automatically extract public profile information directly from Instagram pages (https://www.instagram.com/{$username}/). Designed for efficiency and accuracy, this automation script parses core profile elements like usernames, biographies, and follower metrics without complex manual intervention.

What it does

• Navigates directly to any target Instagram profile URL using a dynamic username variable.
• Handles common interface interruptions such as login modals or popup overlays by checking for and dismissing elements matching [aria-label="Close"].
• Waits for the primary content container (main, article) to load completely before executing data collection.
• Scrapes key account data points using structured DOM selectors and custom extraction logic.

Inputs

• username: The target Instagram handle you wish to inspect (defaults to world_record_egg).

Output

The preset returns a structured JSON object containing the following harvested fields:

• username: The account handle extracted from h2 > span.
• fullName: The profile display name.
• biography: The description text set in the profile bio.
• followersCount: The total number of followers.
• followsCount: The total number of accounts the user follows.
• externalUrl: Any linked external website displayed on the profile.
• verified: A boolean flag indicating whether the profile holds verification status.

How to use

1. Import this preset into your Figranium workspace.
2. Configure the username variable with your target Instagram handle.
3. Run the automation agent.
4. Export the resulting structured JSON dataset for your social media research, marketing, or monitoring workflows.

Notes

• This preset targets public Instagram pages. Private accounts or profiles requiring authentication may fail to return full metrics.
• Ensure appropriate rate limits between runs to maintain stable automation performance.
