What This Is

One command. Full profile intelligence. No modes, no flags, no decisions.

Scrape @daniellesmith09

That's it. You get EVERYTHING: bio, stats, every post caption, reel detection, timestamps, alt text, screenshots. If reels exist and --transcribe is passed, those get downloaded and transcribed too — but that's the ONLY optional flag because downloading video files takes real time.

Architecture

@handle
  │
  ▼
LOAD PROFILE (Playwright + Chrome profile)
  │  Screenshot + bio + stats + name + mutual followers
  ▼
SCROLL GRID (collect ALL post URLs)
  │  Scroll until no new posts load
  ▼
DRILL INTO EVERY POST (open each one, read full caption)
  │  ~3 sec/post with polite delays to avoid blocks
  │  Extract: caption, timestamp, type (photo/reel/carousel), alt text
  ▼
OUTPUT: /tmp/ig-intel/{handle}/
  ├── profile.json       (bio, stats, name)
  ├── posts.json         (every post with full caption)
  ├── post_urls.json     (all URLs)
  ├── grid.json          (thumbnail alt text)
  ├── screenshots/       (profile + grid)
  └── summary.json       (metadata)

Optional: Add --transcribe to also download reels and transcribe audio via groq-transcribe. This adds ~1-2 min per reel.

How It Works (The 4 Walls + Solutions)

Wall	Problem	Solution
Rate limiting	Instagram blocks rapid requests	2-3 sec polite delay between posts
DOM changes	Class names change weekly	4 fallback selectors per element
Auth/API bans	Private APIs get blocked	Playwright + YOUR Chrome session (looks like a real user)
Video content	No text in video posts	yt-dlp download + groq-transcribe

Prerequisite

Your Chrome profile must be logged into Instagram:

npx playwright open --user-data-dir ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/mcp-chrome-profile https://instagram.com

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
"Login required"	Open Chrome profile, log in manually (command above)
Empty captions	Instagram changed selectors — update evaluate() in scraper.py
Timeout	Increase timeout. Instagram is slow sometimes.
0 posts found	Account is private and you don't follow them

Speed Estimates

Posts	Time
50	~4 min
100	~7 min
200	~14 min
+ transcribe	+1-2 min per reel
