They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### ❓FAQ #### Can Instagram Post Scraper extract the number of reposts? Reposts metric has been added to the Instagram app only recently, in summer 2025. It is not a part of Instagram Posts Scraper's datasets yet; our team is working to make that happen. #### Can Instagram Post Scraper extract reels? Yes, Instagram Post Scraper can extract reels. If you only want to extract reels, we recommend using [Instagram Reel Scraper](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-reel-scraper) instead for efficiency. That Actor also extracts the **number of shares of each reel**. #### Sometimes the scraped metrics (like, comment, and view counts) don’t match with what is shown on Instagram. Why is that? If you compare a post or reel side by side with the Actor's output, the numbers can differ. There are two common reasons, and neither means the data is wrong. 1. The Actor sees the logged-out version of the page. The Actor scrapes public data, so it gets the same counts Instagram shows a visitor who isn't signed in. Instagram doesn't show logged-out visitors everything: engagement from private accounts, for example, is often hidden. That means the counts you see while logged into your own account can be higher than the ones the Actor returns. To check what the Actor should see, open the post in a private/incognito browser window. The counts there should match the Actor's output. If they do, the Actor is working correctly. 2. Counts are a snapshot from the moment of the run. Views, likes, and comments keep changing after the run finishes. A reel that returned 976 views in the morning can legitimately show 982 views when you check it in the afternoon. Always compare against the run's timestamp, not against the live page hours or days later. If the numbers still don't line up after both checks, contact support with the run ID and the post URL so we can look into it. #### Can this API scrape posts from private Instagram accounts? No, it cannot. Only public accounts can be scraped. If you try, your dataset will only contain “undefined” entries. #### Why is the `likesCount` value showing as `-1` for some posts? When a user has hidden the like count on their post, Instagram doesn’t display this data publicly. In those cases, the scraper returns -1 for likesCount which indicates that the information isn’t available. #### What is a “sidecar” media type in Instagram posts data? Sidecar is another word for an image carousel — when multiple images are posted as a single post. #### Is there a way to extract only new posts from an Instagram profile? Yes. You can use the **Date filter** parameter (`onlyPostsNewerThan`) to set the timeframe for the posts you wish to scrape. The date can be specified in two ways: - Relative format: 1 day, 2 months, 3 years (ago) - Absolute format: YYYY-MM-DD or full ISO format All time values will be interpreted in UTC timezone. #### Can I skip pinned posts when scraping Instagram posts? Yes. You can choose whether to include or exclude pinned posts when scraping. Since pinned posts can sometimes be very old (and not relevant to your scrape), skipping them just makes sense sometimes. However, this option is only available in the JSON input, not in the user-facing UI. You can control it by setting it to `true`or `false`. For more details, check the [Input tab](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-post-scraper/input-schema) of the Actor. #### Can I exclude pinned posts even if they are within the date range? That’s not possible to filter out before scraping. The scraper will always include pinned posts if they match your Date filter settings. If you want to exclude them, you’ll need to filter the output data after the run by checking for `isPinned: true` and removing those items. #### Is there any way to scrape only new posts (including pinned ones) while filtering out older pinned posts? Yes, there is. You can combine the **Date filter** with **Pinned posts** parameter in JSON input. If you want to see posts newer than a certain date (using the Date filter `onlyPostsNewerThan`) and also include Pinned posts only if they meet that condition, set: ```json "skipPinnedPosts": true, "onlyPostsNewerThan": "1 day" ``` With this setup: - Pinned posts that are newer than the time restriction will still be included. - Older pinned posts will be skipped. This way you’ll get the result you want: “Scrape pinned posts only if they fit the date restriction”. #### Can I use integrations with Instagram Post Scraper? You can integrate post data scraped from Instagram with almost any cloud service or web app. We offer integrations with **Zapier, n8n, Slack, Make, Airbyte, Gumloop, CrewAI, Lindy, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive**, [and plenty more](https://docs.apify.com/integrations). Alternatively, you could use [webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/webhooks) to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, such as getting a notification whenever Instagram Post Scraper successfully finishes a run. #### Can I use Instagram Post Scraper as its an API? Yes. The Apify API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more. To access the API using Node.js, use the `apify-client` [NPM package](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-post-scraper/api/javascript). To access the API using Python, use the `apify-client` [PyPI package](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-post-scraper/api/python). Click on the [API tab](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-post-scraper/api/openapi) for code examples, or check out the [Apify API reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) docs for all the details. #### Can I scrape Instagram posts through an MCP Server? With Apify API, you can use almost any Actor in conjunction with an MCP server. You can connect to the MCP server using clients like ClaudeDesktop and LibreChat, or even build your own. Read all about how you can [set up Apify Actors with MCP](https://blog.apify.com/how-to-use-mcp/). For Instagram Post Scraper, go to the [MCP tab](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-post-scraper/api/mcp) and then go through the following steps: 1. Start a Server-Sent Events (SSE) session to receive a `sessionId` 2. Send API messages using that `sessionId` to trigger the scraper 3. The message starts the Instagram Post Scraper with the provided input 4. The response should be: `Accepted` #### Is it legal to scrape Instagram posts? Our scrapers do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the [GDPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/). #### Instagram Post Scraper not working We’re always working on improving the performance of our Actors. If you have any technical feedback for Instagram Post Scraper or found a bug, please create an issue in the [Issues tab](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-post-scraper/issues/open). # Actor input Schema ## `username` (type: `array`): Insert the username or URL of any profile you want to get posts from. You can also paste the post URLs. ## `resultsLimit` (type: `integer`): This is the maximum number of posts you want to scrape per profile. If you set it to 5, you'll get 5 posts for each profile you've included. This setting does not apply if you're scraping by post URLs. ## `skipPinnedPosts` (type: `boolean`): Check if you do not want to save pinned posts. ## `onlyPostsNewerThan` (type: `string`): Limit how far back to the history the scraper should go. The date should be in YYYY-MM-DD or full ISO absolute format or in relative format e.g. 1 days, 2 months, 3 years. All time values are taken in UTC timezone ## `dataDetailLevel` (type: `string`): Choose the data package you want to extract. Please note the Detailed data are paid extra. ## Actor input object example ```json { "username": [ "natgeo", "https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/", "https://www.instagram.com/p/DLNsnpUTdVS/" ], "resultsLimit": 20, "skipPinnedPosts": false, "dataDetailLevel": "basicData" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped posts # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
