Creator Scraper API

Creator Scraper is an in-house social media scraping API that provides structured data from Instagram profiles, posts, and comments through a simple REST interface.

​
What it does

  • Profile data — follower counts, bios, verification status, contact info
  • Posts — captions, engagement metrics, media URLs, hashtags, tagged users
  • Comments — text, usernames, timestamps, like counts
  • Reliable delivery — automatic retries, proxy rotation, and caching

​
How it works

Your App  →  REST API  →  Job Queue  →  Scraper Workers  →  Instagram
                ↕              ↕
            Postgres        Redis
          (API keys,     (cache, rate
           usage logs)    limiting, queue)
  1. Your application sends a request with an API key
  2. The API checks credits and rate limits, then enqueues a scrape job
  3. A worker picks up the job, scrapes Instagram through residential proxies
  4. Results are cached in Redis and persisted to Postgres
  5. The API returns structured JSON data
