rvare-apify-ig

Scrape public Instagram post and reel URLs and store the results in the default dataset.

This Actor is intentionally simple:

• input is a list of public Instagram URLs
• output is one dataset item per input URL
• duplicates are preserved
• the result order matches the input order
• optional proxy settings are supported through Apify Proxy

What it returns

Each dataset item contains the public fields below:

• canonicalUrl
• data.url
• caption
• ownerUsername
• ownerFullName
• timestamp
• likesCount
• commentsCount
• view_count
• media_repost_count
• user
• carousel_media
• preview_comments
• usertags
• location

Failed items can also be surfaced in the dataset output, depending on the run settings and the calling user.

Input

Use public Instagram post or reel URLs:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.instagram.com/p/DalN04vEbv2/",
    "https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaiJFMaqwcL/"
  ],
  "includeRaw": false,
  "showFailedScrapeResults": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "concurrency": 8
}

Input fields

• urls - required list of public Instagram post or reel URLs
• includeRaw - optional, attaches sanitized raw payload text for troubleshooting
• showFailedScrapeResults - optional, controls whether failed items are pushed to the dataset
• proxyConfiguration.useApifyProxy - optional, enables Apify Proxy for the run
• proxyConfiguration.apifyProxyGroups - optional proxy group list, for example RESIDENTIAL or DATACENTER
• proxyConfiguration.apifyProxyCountry - optional 2-letter country code such as US or ID
• concurrency - optional parallelism setting

Output example

{
  "canonicalUrl": "https://www.instagram.com/p/INTEGRATION1/",
  "data": {
    "url": "https://www.instagram.com/p/INTEGRATION1/"
  },
  "caption": "Integration fixture",
  "ownerUsername": "integration_author",
  "ownerFullName": "Integration Author",
  "timestamp": "2026-07-13T10:00:00.000Z",
  "likesCount": 12,
  "commentsCount": 3,
  "view_count": null,
  "media_repost_count": null,
  "user": {
    "username": "integration_author",
    "full_name": "Integration Author"
  },
  "carousel_media": null,
  "preview_comments": null,
  "usertags": null,
  "location": null
}

Notes

• Only public Instagram URLs are supported.
• Each input URL produces one output item, even if the URL is repeated.
• If you enable Apify Proxy, the Actor uses managed proxy routing from the input schema.
• The dataset schema is published in the Actor definition so the Output tab shows the fields in a stable order.
