How to download Instagram posts and reels with Content Scraping
Short answer
Use Content Scraping in Instagram AI Systems to collect post and reel media from the profiles you choose. Add target profile links, select posts, reels or both, configure items per run and a save folder, then use the organic scheduler to run collection. The module downloads images, videos and carousel slides and keeps an index so a post is not downloaded twice.

Key points
- Content Scraping saves media from selected profiles to your machine.
- You can choose the posts grid, reels grid or both, including every carousel slide.
- An index prevents downloading the same post twice.
- Likes and comments while scraping are optional and reuse Engage Profiles behaviour.
What Content Scraping collects
Downloads post and reel media — images and videos — from the profiles you choose, on an automatic schedule, into a folder on your machine.
A running library of reference material or inspiration from the accounts you track, collected without you opening a single post.
Add profiles and choose the media grids
The module supports multiple target profiles, with one link per line and a random profile selected each run. Choose the posts grid, reels grid or both. Media collection includes images, videos and every slide of a carousel.
Set items per run and the save folder
Configure the number of items per run and the save location on your machine. The app lets you open that folder directly, copy its path and see how many items have been collected.
Content Scraping maintains an index so the same post is not downloaded twice. That tracking belongs to media collection; Engage Profiles separately tracks the posts it has engaged.
Choose whether to engage while collecting
Content Scraping can optionally like and comment while scraping by reusing Engage Profiles behaviour. This is an option within the collection workflow, separate from selecting which media to download.
Schedule recurring collection
Use the module's activity controls and minimum interval alongside shared gaps and sleep hours in Schedule. The activity is labelled Scraping in the control panel; its product module name is Content Scraping.
This workflow saves media into your local folder. The collection controls describe downloads, rather than a post-publishing calendar.
