3) The seemingly direct route of sharing Instagram post link to an App (Notebook LLM, Gemini etc) hoping to extract the text doesn't work.

Gemini's response to scrape text from an IG post link :
"I cannot access the content of that Instagram post directly to read the caption or view the images, as Instagram requires a login to view posts and blocks automated browsing."
4) Screen record (while browsing through the entire text/content of the post), share it Gemini 3 and ask it to extract and present information in tabular format.
5) Inefficient? Yes. Amused ? Very.
