Explore Premium ResidentialCollecting data from Instagram
Instagram is one of the most aggressive platforms for IP reputation. Requests from hosting ranges are challenged immediately, and even residential exits need a slow, human-shaped request pattern.
Mobile carrier IPs carry the highest trust here because most real traffic is mobile. Combine that with sticky sessions and modest request rates for stable access to public data.
The three things that break Instagram jobs
IP reputation
Mobile and residential exits only. Datacenter is a non-starter.
Behaviour patterns
Keep request rates human. Bursts get flagged regardless of IP quality.
Session stability
Sticky sessions prevent constant re-verification.
A workflow that holds up
- 1

Slow and steady beats fast and blocked.
