Copied from the file, not written here

Extract public Instagram data from a single URL through the AnyCrawl Scrape API. Use when a user provides an Instagram profile, reel, or post URL and wants as much structured data as possible from that one link, including normalized JSON plus the raw AnyCrawl markdown, HTML, links, and screenshot artifacts.

AnyCrawl Instagram Scraper

Use this skill when the user gives a public Instagram URL and wants the richest extraction available through AnyCrawl.

Workflow

  1. Accept a single public Instagram URL.
  2. Validate that it is one of the supported shapes:
    • https://www.instagram.com/<username>/
    • https://www.instagram.com/reel/<shortcode>/
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/<shortcode>/
  3. Run the bundled extractor:
node .claude/skills/anycrawl-instagram-scraper/scripts/run.js "<instagram-url>"
  1. Read the JSON file path printed by the script.
  2. Summarize the important fields for the user:
    • page type
    • owner/profile info
    • caption text
    • media URLs and media type
    • engagement stats
    • hashtags and mentions
    • screenshot URL
    • anything clearly blocked by login or consent walls

Output Handling

The script writes a full JSON artifact to /tmp by default and prints a compact summary to stdout.

The artifact includes:

  • normalized: structured Instagram-focused extraction
  • anycrawl: raw AnyCrawl response, including markdown, html, links, and screenshot@fullPage when available
  • request: the exact payload used for the successful attempt

Retry Guidance

The script already retries with a slower Playwright configuration when the first pass is thin or fails.

Manual retry only helps when Instagram serves unusual consent or login interstitials.

If you need the official template notes, read references/template-notes.md.
