Archiving Instagram feeds

New Instagram seeds will have the default scoping rules automatically applied at the seed level when they are added to a collection. To learn more, including how you can add default scoping rules to existing seeds, please visit Sites with automated scoping rules.

To Successfully Crawl Instagram Seeds:

1. Be specific. Always include a specific user, followed by a / at the end. For example https://www.instagram.com/internetarchive/
   
2. Use the Standard seed type for Instagram seeds
   
3. Ignore robots.txt at the seed level -OR- Add a collection level scoping rule to ignore robots.txt for the hosts www.instagram.com and fbcdn.net
4. Crawl with Brozzler

What to expect from your archived Instagram seeds:

• Captures made by standard Archive-It crawling technology replay the default load (up to 12 images) of content on Instagram feeds. Use Brozzler to create captures that scroll beyond the default load in Wayback replay.
