Run the same brief again for the next window
Keep the brief and run it again whenever you want the next window. Because collection stops at a date rather than filtering afterwards, a weekly watch costs a week of posts rather than the whole feed again. Nothing is scheduled or emailed for you. You run it when you want it.
Planning is free and needs no account. Running the plan (the collection, the written report and the CSV) is open to anyone signed in, on the 500 free rows an account gets every 30 days. Pricing says what more rows will cost. Everything below describes the report a run produces, with the posts behind it as a CSV.
What the report answers
- The window you named, collected fresh each run, with the CSV beside the report
- How large the sample was and why collection stopped, so two runs are comparable
- A clear note when a run collected nothing, rather than silence
- A clear note when your session needs re-capturing, before the run fails quietly
Who this is for: Anyone tracking a tag week to week rather than once.
How it works
- Describe the job in a sentence. You get back the plan it would run: which tags, how many posts, over what window, and what it assumed.
- Connect the Instagram account you already control. A run reads Instagram as you, on that account and no other, and your session is not stored.
- Run it. You get the written report and the rows as CSV, and you can re-run the same brief whenever you want the next window.
