❓ FAQ

Can I use integrations with Instagram Hashtag Analytics Scraper?

Alternatively, you could us webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, such as getting a notification whenever Instagram Hashtag Analytics Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Can I use Instagram Hashtag Analytics Scraper with the Apify API?

The Apify API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more.

To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package.

Click on the API tab for code examples, or check out the Apify API reference docs for all the details.

Can I use Instagram Hashtag Analytics Scraper through an MCP Server?

With Apify API, you can use almost any Actor in conjunction with an MCP server. You can connect to the MCP server using clients like ClaudeDesktop and LibreChat, or even build your own. Read all about how you can set up Apify Actors with MCP.

For the Instagram Hashtag Analytics Scraper, go to the MCP tab and then go through the following steps:

1. Start a Server-Sent Events (SSE) session to receive a sessionId.
2. Send API messages using that sessionId to trigger the scraper.
3. The message starts the Instagram Hashtag Analytics Scraper with the provided input.
4. The response should be: Accepted.

Do I need proxies to scrape stats from Instagram?

Proxies are a vital part of scraping, letting you spoof your location and circumvent any blockers a site may employ. For this reason, we run residential proxies in the background for subscribers to the Starter plan and higher tiers.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram?

Our Instagram scrapers do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.
