Retrieving Instagram Caption

Open
kissable_electricity opened this issue

I want to only get the caption from an instagram post for a given URL. I don't need any of the other data like comments, hashtags, etc. Is there a way to specify what you want to be returned or to make it faster (7 seconds per post is unbelievably slow for just a caption)? For my use case I need to have captions be extracted as fast as possible, preferably under 3 seconds. If you could me in the right direction that would be helpful also. Thanks!

Hi 😊,

I'm afraid it is not how much data you need, but the startup time which is limiting the speed of the actor. If you are able to batch requests, you will see much higher throughput. If that is not a possibility for your workload, I can create an issue tracking the demand for creating a standby actor around instagram?

So is it not possible to use the existing actors made by apify for Instagram and use the SDK kinda make a makeshift standby actor by nesting calls to the existing actors inside the sdk of a standby actor? Yes, if you could open a ticket for a standby actor around instagram that would be great!
