Is it possible to pull data from Instagram without login?
Yes, it is possible to extract data from Instagram, including posts, comments, hashtags, and more. However, it is important to note that any data extraction should be conducted ethically and in compliance with Instagram's policies.
Instagram periodically updates its web design and structure to improve user experience in response to user feedback and technological advancements. For this reason, it is challenging to extract Instagram data as of now since it doesn't allow automated loading of content without its official APIs. That being said, you may extract more than 1,000 comments without configuring automation with Listly!
First off, log in to your Instagram account. If you begin scraping without login, Instagram will pop up a login window for non-logged-in users, which will stop you from scraping data, to control access to its content.
Find a post that interests you and click it. If the post has a number of comments, there should be a "plus" or "load more" button.
Keep clicking the "plus" or "load more" button until all comments are loaded.
Once done, hit the Listly's extension icon and click Whole or Parts that allows you select the comments area.
The comments are highly likely to be extracted and displayed in the first card tab. If not, select the card containing the comments data. You can then download your data as an Excel or Google Sheets file.
