How this service works

Pay-per-call web scrapers for AI agents. 28 tools across Reddit, 8-board job search (LinkedIn · Indeed · Glassdoor · Google Jobs · +5), TikTok · Douyin · Bilibili, cross-platform trend research, social media, and ad libraries. No API keys. Agent wallets settle USDC on Tempo or Base via x402 + MPP.

Output

A JSON object with an 'items' array containing scraped Instagram data (shape varies by mode — e.g. profile fields, post metadata, comments, reel info), plus a runId for audit, payment settlement summary, and run duration in seconds.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Pull the last 50 posts from the Instagram account 'natgeo' — I need the captions, like counts, and media URLs — use the user_posts mode and return permanent media URLs.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://www.hirescrape.com/api/tools/instagram

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need to extract Instagram data (profiles, posts, reels, comments, highlights, or search) without managing Instagram API credentials, OAuth flows, or scraping infrastructure. Ideal for AI agents that need pay-per-call, no-subscription access to Instagram data settled in USDC via x402.

Side effects

Invalid or private Instagram handle returns empty items array
Unsupported mode value causes validation error
Rate limits or Instagram blocks result in empty or partial results
Invalid pagination cursor causes 400 error
Region not supported returns proxy error
Missing required fields (e.g. handle for profile mode) returns schema validation error

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
