## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

# README

## 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:

```json
{
  "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

```json
{
  "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.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

Paste public Instagram post or reel URLs. The Actor keeps one result per input URL.

## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`):

Attach sanitized raw HTML to failed or partial items for troubleshooting.

## `showFailedScrapeResults` (type: `boolean`):

Push failed items to the dataset output instead of hiding them from the dataset.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Leave this empty for direct fetches. Enable Apify Proxy here when you want managed proxy routing.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel requests. When proxy is enabled, each worker gets its own sticky session.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.instagram.com/p/DalN04vEbv2/",
    "https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaiJFMaqwcL/",
    "https://www.instagram.com/p/Dal_f40Gj7g/",
