Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been digging into how to scrape user accounts on instagram and tiktok lately, and honestly, it’s a bit of a rabbit hole. There are so many tools out there, but not all of them work as advertised.
I’ve tried a few like Octoparse and Apify, but they can be hit or miss. Anyone got recommendations for reliable tools or methods? Also, is it even legal to scrape user accounts on instagram and tiktok? I’ve heard mixed things.
Would love to hear your thoughts or if you’ve had any success with this. Maybe some tips on avoiding bans or getting blocked?
Cheers!
Hey! I’ve been down the same rabbit hole with how to scrape user accounts on instagram and tiktok. Honestly, it’s a bit of a mess out there. I’ve had some luck with Scrapy (Python-based), but it’s not beginner-friendly.
For TikTok, I’d recommend checking out TikTokScraper—it’s open-source and works pretty well for basic scraping. As for legality, it’s a gray area. Instagram and TikTok both have strict terms, so tread carefully.
Avoiding bans? Rotate proxies and keep your requests slow. Don’t go crazy with the scraping speed, or you’ll get blocked fast.
Yo, scraping insta and tiktok is tricky af. I’ve used Phantombuster for both, and it’s decent. Not perfect, but gets the job done.
Legality-wise, it’s sketchy. Both platforms hate scraping, so you’re kinda rolling the dice. If you’re just doing it for personal use, you’re *probably* fine, but don’t quote me on that lol.
Tips: Use residential proxies and don’t scrape too much at once. Slow and steady wins the race.
Hey there! I’ve been researching how to scrape user accounts on instagram and tiktok for a project, and I’ve found ParseHub to be pretty reliable. It’s no-code, which is great if you’re not into coding.
For TikTok, I’ve heard good things about TikTok-API (Python library), but it requires some setup.
As for legality, it’s a gray zone. Instagram and TikTok’s terms of service prohibit scraping, so proceed with caution.
Pro tip: Use rotating IPs and limit your requests to avoid getting blocked.
Scraping insta and tiktok? Yeah, it’s a headache. I’ve tried a bunch of tools, and honestly, they’re hit or miss.
For Instagram, I’d recommend Instaloader (Python). It’s free and works well for basic scraping. TikTok is tougher, but TikTokScraper is worth a shot.
Legality? Meh, it’s a gray area. Just don’t scrape private data or spam, and you should be okay.
Avoid bans by using proxies and keeping your scraping slow. Don’t be greedy with the data!
Hey! I’ve been experimenting with how to scrape user accounts on instagram and tiktok, and it’s definitely a challenge.
For Instagram, I’ve had some success with Octoparse, but it’s not perfect. TikTok is harder, but TikTok-API (Python) is a solid option if you’re comfortable with coding.
Legality is iffy. Both platforms have strict rules, so be careful.
Tips: Use rotating proxies, limit your requests, and avoid scraping private accounts.
Scraping insta and tiktok is a pain, but doable. I’ve used Apify for both, and it’s okay. Not amazing, but it works.
For TikTok, TikTokScraper is a good open-source option.
Legality? It’s a gray area. Instagram and TikTok don’t like it, but if you’re not scraping private data, you’re *probably* fine.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I’ve been trying out TikTokScraper and Instaloader based on your recommendations, and they’re working pretty well so far.
I’m still a bit nervous about the legality, though. Has anyone actually gotten in trouble for scraping? Or is it more of a “don’t ask, don’t tell” situation?
Also, any tips on handling captchas? I’ve been running into them a lot, and it’s slowing me down.
Cheers!
