n8n: Pull public Instagram profiles + posts with HTTP Request (no brittle scrapers)

Описание и применение

Новый поток n8n использует RapidAPI для получения публичных данных Instagram, устраняя проблемы с устаревшими скриптами.

Задача

n8n Instagram flows often fail when Instaloader or cookies break, causing unreliable data collection.

Результат

The new n8n workflow reliably pulls public Instagram profile data and recent posts without brittle scrapers, enabling scalable data collection for 50–200 accounts per week.

Рабочий процесс

• Fetch public profile and recent posts as JSON over HTTP using RapidAPI Instagram endpoints
• Transform JSON into canonical row (author, caption, timestamp, permalink, media URL) using Set / Item Lists nodes
• Map transformed fields to database or storage
• Keep OCR/LLM/storage as separate nodes

Доказательства

If your n8n Instagram flows keep dying when Instaloader/cookies break, split the problem:
