Cheapest instagram post scraper
Cost-optimized Instagram scraper for public profiles
What it does
I recently needed to scrape Instagram posts for a project where I analyze influencer collaborations to help agencies and creators find relevant partners. I looked for an Apify actor that returns co-author user, but couldn’t find anything suitable (and the ones I did find were way to expensive). So I built my own scraper!It’s roughly 10× cheaper than the alternatives on the market, and I figured some of you might find it useful if you’re working with Instagram data or need to scrape post at scale

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
