Get a demoRestricted Profile does not scrape information (reels)
Closed
When I try to scrape reels, many profiles have:
isRestrictedProfile: true
and give a restrictionReason that "You must be 21 years old or over to see this profile"
If I try the inputUrl on a browser, I can view the reel just fine without being logged in, why is this an issue?
Hi!
Can you please provide examples when profile is restricted in dataset but visible in incognito browser? From https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/cO04oAajR0a5kjvi9/items?clean=true&format=json I tried https://www.instagram.com/runarainbow.x/ https://www.instagram.com/beldots.co/ https://www.instagram.com/frede666/
All 3 displayed as restricted in incognito browser

Yes, I am attaching an example. If I visit the inputUrl it works fine, as can be seen in the second image.
Hi!
Its very rare case when restriction only applied for single or few countries. Looks like https://www.instagram.com/eevieaspen/ only restricted in US, so setting proxy country in json input will return posts: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/tZ1g8An09I7Uyh76s
Please note that json input includes
1{ 2 "proxy": { 3 "useApifyProxy": true, 4 "apifyProxyGroups": [ 5 "RESIDENTIAL" 6 ], 7 "apifyProxyCountry": "CZ" 8 } 9}
Any any not-US country should work. However each such case should be handled manually. For most of restricted profiles restrictions are world-wide so trick with proxy country will not change anything.
