Scrape mention data from an Instagram profile
The [Instagram] Scrape Mentions block retrieves mention data associated with a specified Instagram profile. It takes a profile URL as its primary input, along with a results limit that controls how many mention records are returned. The output is stored in a destination variable for use in subsequent workflow steps.
This block is configured with three key fields: the target profile URL, a results limit to cap the volume of data collected, and a destination variable name where the scraped output is saved. These parameters make it straightforward to scope the data collection to what a workflow actually needs.
This block fits into workflows that involve social media monitoring, brand tracking, or audience research. It can be paired with analysis or filtering blocks to process mention data, identify patterns, or feed results into reporting pipelines.

What parameters are required to use this block?
The block requires three inputs: a profile URL pointing to the Instagram profile whose mentions you want to scrape, a results limit that caps the number of mention records returned, and a destination variable name where the output will be stored for use in later workflow steps.
What does the block return?
The block stores its output in the variable specified by the destinationVar field. The scraped mention data is saved to that variable and can be referenced by downstream blocks in the workflow.
