0 rows in the dataset

Download the dataset

Get every row this scraper has collected as one CSV or JSONL file. If the data is older than maxAgeHours, the scraper is re-run with its configured settings first. The key needs the datasets:export scope.

DOWNLOAD_ID=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/datasets/instagram-profiles/downloads" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"maxAgeHours":24,"format":"csv"}' | jq -r '.id')while true; do  STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/downloads/$DOWNLOAD_ID" \    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" | jq -r '.status')  [ "$STATUS" != "refreshing" ] && break  sleep 5donecurl -s "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/downloads/$DOWNLOAD_ID/file" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \  -o dataset.csv

The rate is 1 credit per 100 rows cached and 2 credits live, charged on the rows in the dataset when the download becomes ready. A failed refresh is not charged. The file stays downloadable for 24 hours. See pricing.

Start a run

To choose the targets yourself, send the parameters below as input. The call returns 202 with the run; the key needs the scrapers:run scope and the account a positive credit balance.

curl -X POST "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/scrapers/instagram-profiles/runs" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{    "input": {      "handles": [        "nasa",        "natgeo"      ],      "maxPostsPerAccount": 48,      "maxAgeDays": 0,      "minLikes": 0    }  }'

A run is billed at the live rate once it finishes: 2 credits per 100 rows it collected. A run that collects nothing costs nothing.

Parameters

Every parameter is optional. Anything you leave out uses the default shown here; an unknown name or an invalid value is rejected with a 400 that lists each problem.

Targeting

handles
string[]
Accounts
Handles only — @ prefixes and pasted URLs are cleaned up.
Default
["nasa","natgeo"]
Example
nasa, natgeo
maxPostsPerAccount
number
Max posts per account
12 posts per request, so this is also the request budget per account.
Default
48
Range
1 to 2000
maxAgeDays
number
Max age (days)
Stop paging an account once posts get older than this. 0 keeps everything.
Default
0
Range
0 to 3650

Matching

minLikes
number
Minimum likes
Accounts that hide their like counts report 0, so this will drop all of their posts.
Default
0
Range
at least 0

Collection

collectProfile
boolean
Collect profile row
Costs one extra request per account, and is the only way to get follower counts and the bio.
Default
true
concurrency
number
Concurrent accounts
Instagram rate-limits anonymous callers abruptly. Raising this ends runs early.
Default
2
Range
1 to 8
requestDelayMs
number
Delay between requests (ms)
Default
2000
Range
0 to 30000

Input as JSON Schema

The same schema the API validates against. Use it as a tool input schema or to generate a typed client.

Run, poll, read rows

The run is asynchronous. Poll it until it reaches a terminal status and its billing is paid, then page through its rows. Until then the rows endpoint answers 409 (still queued or running) or 402 (payment required).

Output fields

Rows have no fixed schema; these are the fields observed in the rows collected so far. Coverage is the share of rows where the field is present.

No rows collected yet, so no fields have been observed. Run the scraper once and they will appear here.
