# Get Instagram posts with their comments in one run

**Use case:** 

Scrape a profile's latest posts and receive each post together with its comments in the same record: caption, likes, comment count, video play count, media URLs and up to 20 comments per post. No second scraper and no joining datasets. Ideal for engagement analysis and social listening.

## Input

```json
{
  "directUrls": [
    "https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/"
  ],
  "resultsType": "posts",
  "resultsLimit": 20,

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/amrhassan25/instagram-posts-comments-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
