Sweet ill take a look!


Cool, would this work on something like instagram? Scraping pages?


Yes! I actually just had someone else ask about Instagram. Try it out :)

I got these results just now: https://fetchfoxai.com/s/UOqL5HtuNe

If you want to do the same scrape, here is the prompt I used: https://imgur.com/XhguCk4


Instagram really doesn’t want you scraping. There are almost certainly terms against it in the user agreement


Companies like Instagram (Facebook/Meta/Garbage) abuse their users' data day in and day out. Who cares what their TOS says. Let them spend millions of dollars trying to block you, its a drop in the bucket.


instead, don't do it because it's disrespectful to people. A lot of people weren't made aware- or didn't have the option- to object to that TOS change. Saying "well, THOSE guys do it! why can't I!" isn't a mature stance. Don't take their images because it's the right thing to do
