Checking a competitor's Instagram performance usually means opening the app, scrolling through their grid, and manually noting likes and comments post by post, or exporting screenshots into a spreadsheet that's outdated the moment it's saved. This connector skips that entirely. It pulls live post data, captions, engagement figures, and media type straight into a Claude conversation, so a request like "extract the last 20 posts from this account and tell me which format performs best" returns a finished breakdown in the same reply.
Two tools sit behind the connector. One extracts a public profile's posts, with captions, like counts, comment counts, media type, and publish timestamps. The other searches Instagram itself, by keyword, hashtag, or profile name, useful for finding accounts or content before you know exactly who to extract from. Both work on any public profile, no login or API credentials required.
