Can you please add multi-region support to the scraper?

Hi!

Your account manager will contact you to collaborate on a solution.

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

To find if an Instagram profile has restricted content based on country, go to the profile, tap the three dots in the top right, then select "About this account" to check for age restrictions.

Then, try to use the country code for unrestricted countries as custom proxy settings. If the profile owner sets no age restrictions it means that Instagram applied it automatically. In this case, quickly check the top 5 countries with the least Internet restrictions: Iceland-Estonia-Costa Rica-Canada-Georgia.

Country codes are IS-EE-CR-CA-GA

Sample input:

1{
2  "proxy": {
3    "useApifyProxy": true,
4    "apifyProxyGroups": [
5      "RESIDENTIAL"
6    ],
7    "countryCode": "GA"
8  }
9}

Please note that only a single country code might be used under the single run, so to try 5 countries, you will need to do 5 runs. If a country code with profile access is found, use it for scraping.
