InstaData Explorer — App README

Last reviewed: October 3, 2026.

What this app is

InstaData Explorer, also called IG Parser, is a research and content-preparation app for Instagram fashion and beauty data. It imports brand and creator profiles, posts, images, videos, captions, and engagement counts. It helps users organize that material, analyze images with AI, identify trends, and prepare exports for Pinterest and Stored Fashion.

The guide is public. The app's working pages and saved records require site access.

Main pages

• Upload Users — https://ig.glohbal.com/ — Import Instagram scraper CSV files, assign a niche tag, and choose whether to import media.
• Apify Scrapers — https://ig.glohbal.com/import/apify — Start or import supported Instagram scraper runs.
• Tagged Content — https://ig.glohbal.com/import/tagged — Import posts that mention or tag brands, including content posted by creators rather than the brand itself.
• FreshRSS Activity — https://ig.glohbal.com/import/freshrss — Import supported feed exports as activity signals.
• Users — https://ig.glohbal.com/users — Browse and filter Instagram accounts, their profile details, categories, contact information, links, and engagement context. Individual account pages show saved posts and statistics.
• Profile AI — https://ig.glohbal.com/import/profiles — Enrich account classifications and location information using profile evidence and AI.
• Related Profiles — https://ig.glohbal.com/related — Explore accounts suggested by imported Instagram profiles. Scrape Candidates at https://ig.glohbal.com/prospects helps review prospects and prepare another scrape.
• Posts — https://ig.glohbal.com/posts — Browse saved post records, captions, media links, and engagement counts.
• Visual Feed — https://ig.glohbal.com/feed — Review images and carousel slides, filter by niche and visual attributes, save filter presets, star or review posts, and run image analysis.
• Trend Reports — https://ig.glohbal.com/reports — Generate and browse saved reports for a niche or supported tagged-brand scope, with trend summaries and supporting post/image evidence.
• Performance — https://ig.glohbal.com/reports/performance — Compare saved posts by week using available engagement measures.
• Pinterest Exports — https://ig.glohbal.com/pinterest — Prepare Pinterest copy and CSV files for completed standard CSV/Apify imports.
• CMS Scanner — https://ig.glohbal.com/cms_manager — Identify website publishing platforms associated with saved accounts.
• Email Outreach — https://ig.glohbal.com/integrations/gmail — Read synced outreach status, including whether an account was emailed or replied. The Gmail sync reads metadata and does not send email.
• Jobs — https://ig.glohbal.com/jobs — Inspect background-job status. A job's details are available at /jobs/{job_id}.
• RenderForm Templates — https://ig.glohbal.com/settings/renderform — Configure templates used to generate report graphics and account collages.

Typical workflow

1. Import profiles and posts, choose a niche tag, and wait for the import job to finish.
2. Open Visual Feed, select the relevant niche, and use Analyze Next Batch to analyze eligible images. A batch counts images, so carousel slides can require more than one analysis per post.
3. Review the saved visual evidence and account classifications.
4. Generate a trend report, prepare a Pinterest batch, or download the relevant data export.
5. Review the output before publishing or uploading it to another platform.

Imports, AI analysis, enrichment, and report generation use a background queue. Queued means waiting; running means work has started; finished means the result was saved; failed means the job needs inspection or a retry. Opening a page does not mean its background work has finished.

How Pinterest copy updates

Image analysis and Pinterest writing are separate actions. Analyze Next Batch saves visual analysis; it does not automatically generate Pinterest titles or descriptions.

On Pinterest Exports, use Enrich Pinterest Posts on the relevant import row. The worker combines the Instagram caption, the owning account's brand name, and available analysis of the selected photo. Titles include the brand and the caption's product, collection, or main idea. Descriptions mainly summarize the caption, with natural details supported by the photo analysis.

The copy is saved as enrichment completes. Processing shows an active job; copy-enriched and failed counts show the batch's progress. Enrichment fills missing or outdated copy. Once a batch is fully enriched, Regenerate Copy can explicitly rewrite its saved copy, including after newer image analysis.

Download CSV uses saved current copy where available and caption-based fallback copy for unfinished or outdated items. A download does not trigger a paid AI writing request. Each eligible post contributes one selected media asset; it does not automatically become one Pin per carousel slide. Export links point to Stored Fashion brand pages and include Pinterest tracking parameters.

Pinterest upload is manual. Mark Exported records the user's export state; it does not publish Pins or confirm a successful Pinterest upload.

What reports and exports contain

Trend reports use a selected niche or supported tagged-brand scope and a recent reporting window. Standard niche reports use a 14-day window and check for missing image analysis before trend generation. Large runs can produce several saved parts and a combined overview.

A report groups supported visual patterns and links them to source posts and images. Report pages offer evidence CSVs and diagnostic exports; configured RenderForm templates can generate graphics. These outputs support editorial preparation. The app does not automatically publish a weekly article to storedfashion.com.

Other exports include filtered account/post data, tagged content, prospect lists, website leads, and Pinterest CSVs. Available fields depend on what was imported or enriched.

How to interpret the content

• An account or user is an Instagram profile. A post belongs to an account. A carousel contains several images; a slide identifies one of those images.
• A niche tag is an organizational label, such as activewear or beauty. An import batch identifies one import operation. A background-job ID identifies the task that processed it.
• Captions, account details, and engagement counts come from imported snapshots. They may be incomplete or older than the current Instagram post.
• Visual labels, profile classifications, trends, and Pinterest copy are AI interpretations. Product names should come from captions or other source evidence; inferred colors, materials, or trends are not independently verified facts.
• Tagged content may be posted by a creator who mentions a brand. The posting account and the mentioned brand are different concepts.
• Import totals can include both newly created and updated records. Exportable counts can be lower because media is unavailable or records now belong to a newer import batch.

Implementation context for AI assistants

The app uses Python/Flask for pages, SQLAlchemy with PostgreSQL for saved data, and Redis/RQ for background work. Separate services handle imports, image analysis, profile enrichment, Pinterest copy, reports, and graphics. External integrations include Apify, OpenRouter, Gmail, and RenderForm. This guide describes the app's behavior; it is not an API for accessing private records.
