Managed execution
Each Crawlora platform API is designed around a specific data surface. Instead of exposing a generic fetch endpoint, Crawlora combines endpoint-specific request logic, managed infrastructure, parsing, normalization, billing, and Playground-tested examples.
Request behavior is tuned for the target platform and endpoint type.
Supported endpoints can use managed proxy routing to improve reliability and reduce infrastructure work.
Dynamic pages can be routed through managed browser instances where JavaScript rendering is required.
Challenge pages and unusable upstream responses are detected and surfaced clearly.
Results are returned as documented JSON instead of raw HTML.
Test the same route from Docs and Playground before production integration.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

How to scrape Instagram
Instagram is login-gated and rate-limited, so scraping it reliably is hard. Crawlora's Instagram endpoints return public profile, post, and reels data as structured JSON.
A public profile by username, a post by shortcode, or a profile's reels.
Pass the username or shortcode to Crawlora's Instagram endpoint — managed execution handles access.
Receive follower count, bio, and post counts; per-post caption, likes, comments, and media URLs.
Re-run to monitor follower growth, posting cadence, and engagement over time.
FAQ
Send a public Instagram username or post shortcode to Crawlora's Instagram endpoint and get structured JSON — followers, bio, captions, likes, comments, media URLs — without maintaining browser automation. Collect public data and respect Instagram's terms.
Yes — Crawlora returns public profile and post data through managed execution, with no login required. It does not access private accounts, DMs, or any authentication-gated content.
Collecting publicly accessible profile and post data is generally permissible if you respect Instagram's terms of use, robots directives, rate limits, and applicable law. This is for public data you're authorized to collect.
