How to Scrape Instagram Search Results with Ruby

Extract search data from Instagram

💎 Using Ruby

Overview

Learn how to scrape Instagram search results using Ruby. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process, from setup to implementation.

What You'll Learn

• Setting up your development environment
• Installing the required HTTP client
• Authenticating with the ScrapeCreators API
• Making requests to Instagram
• Handling responses and errors
• Best practices for production use

What You'll Get

• Access to search results data
• JSON formatted responses
• Real-time data access
• Scalable solution
• Error handling patterns
• Performance optimization tips

Prerequisites

1. API Key

First, you'll need a ScrapeCreators API key to authenticate your requests.

2. Development Environment

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Ruby and its dependencies
• A code editor (VS Code, Sublime, etc.)
• Basic understanding of API requests
• Command line interface access

Step 1: Install HTTP Client

HTTParty is a Ruby library that makes HTTP requests easy

gem

gem install httparty

Step 2: API Implementation

Now let's make a request to the Instagram API using Ruby. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.

Ruby

require 'httparty'
require 'json'

API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

def scrape
  response = HTTParty.get(
    "https://api.scrapecreators.com/v2/instagram/reels/search",
    headers: {
      'x-api-key' => API_KEY,
      'Content-Type' => 'application/json'
    },
    query: {
        'query' => 'dogs',
      'page' => '1'
    }
  )

  puts 'Response:'
  puts JSON.pretty_generate(response.parsed_response)
  response.parsed_response
rescue => e
  puts "Error: #{e.message}"
  nil
end

# Usage
result = scrape

Step 3: Testing Your Code

API Parameters

This endpoint accepts the following parameters:

queryRequired(string)

The keyword to search for

Example: dogs

pageOptional(number)

The page number to return.

Example: 1

Run Your Code

Execute your script to test the API connection. You should see a JSON response with Instagram search results data.

✅ Success: You should receive a structured JSON response containing the requested data.

Expected Response

Here's an example of the JSON response you'll receive:

Sample Response

But babysitting Rocco gives her her “dog fix” and keeps her connected to the love only dogs can bring 🥰\n\nShe’s originally from Los Angeles, but now a New Yorker, and knows Central Park inside out from years of walking dogs there 🌳🐕 \n\nShe told me how dogs are family, and people who don’t love animals will never fully understand it, and I completely agree! ❤️\n\n#dogphotography #rescuedog #chihuahua #dogportrait #dogphotographer",

Verify Response Structure

Check that your response includes the expected fields:

✓success(boolean)
✓credits_remaining(number)
✓reels(object)

Best Practices

Error Handling

Implement comprehensive error handling and retry logic for failed requests. Log errors properly for debugging.

Caching

Cache responses when possible to reduce API calls and improve performance. Consider data freshness requirements.

Security

Never expose your API key in client-side code. Use environment variables and secure key management practices.

Performance Tips

Batch Requests

When scraping multiple search results, consider batching requests to maximize throughput while staying within rate limits.

Async Processing

Use asynchronous processing in Ruby to handle multiple requests concurrently and improve overall performance.

Common Use Cases

Check your API key is correct and properly formatted in the x-api-key header.

402 Payment Required

You ran out of credits and need to buy more.

404 Not Found

The resource might not exist or be private.

500 Server Error
