Yo, I feel you on this! Scraping the Instagram explore page is such a pain. I’ve been using Octoparse for a while now, and it’s been pretty solid. It’s not perfect, but it handles proxies and rate limits decently. Just make sure you tweak the settings to avoid getting flagged.
Also, check out Scrapy if you’re into coding. It’s a bit more hands-on, but you can customize it to scrape the explore page without tripping IG’s alarms.
Good luck, man!
