Posts

posts

Required

Instagram posts to analyze. Paste full post/reel URLs (https://www.instagram.com/p/SHORTCODE/) or bare shortcodes. Each post is analyzed independently and produces one dataset item.

Type:array

Max comments per post

maxComments

Optional

Upper bound on how many comments to fetch per post (pagination stops there). Lower = faster and cheaper. Instagram itself caps public comment access at roughly 500 top-level comments per post.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:1000

Default:200

Include reply threads

includeReplies

Optional

Also fetch the replies under each top-level comment. More thorough for engagement analysis, but slower and uses more requests.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Only comments after (date/time)

onlyDataAfter

Optional

Optional. Keep only comments posted AFTER this moment; older ones are skipped and counted in 'skippedCommentCount'. Accepts a date (2026-07-01), an ISO datetime (2026-07-01T14:30:00Z) or a Unix timestamp. Note: applies to COMMENTS only — Instagram's likers list has no timestamp, so likers can't be date-filtered.

Type:string

Instagram cookies (optional — unlocks likers)

Optional

OPTIONAL. Leave empty for public scraping (comments + like/comment counts). Provide your Instagram login to ALSO get the LIKERS of each post (the users who liked it), which Instagram hides from anonymous requests. Three accepted formats: (1) the JSON export from the Cookie-Editor browser extension while on instagram.com [recommended — one click 'Export']; (2) a cookie header string like 'sessionid=...; csrftoken=...; ds_user_id=...'; (3) just your 'sessionid' value. The actor needs sessionid (ds_user_id is derived from it automatically). Secret field: Apify stores it encrypted and never shows it in the log, input or dataset. Use an account you control; in authenticated mode all requests run on a single pinned proxy IP.

Type:string

Proxy configuration

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Instagram blocks datacenter IPs. Use Apify Residential proxies (default). You can pick a country to match your audience.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": [
    "RESIDENTIAL"
  ]
}

Max concurrency (parallel posts)

maxConcurrency

Optional

How many posts to scrape in parallel. Higher = faster, but a higher chance of hitting Instagram rate limits. Each post uses its own rotating proxy IP.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:10

Default:3

Max retries per post

maxRequestRetries

Optional

How often to retry a post on a transient error (rate limit / 5xx / connection / block). Reported per item as 'attempts'.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:8

Default:3

Comments GraphQL doc_id (advanced)

commentsDocId

Optional

Advanced/optional. The actor fetches comments via Instagram's logged-out GraphQL query, which uses a numeric doc_id that Instagram rotates every few weeks. Leave empty to use the built-in default. If comments stop coming back, open a public post in a logged-out browser, find the Network request with x-fb-friendly-name = PolarisLoggedOutDesktopWWWPostCommentsPaginationQuery, and paste its doc_id here.

Type:string

Debug logging

debug

Optional

Log every Instagram API request URL and its response status (→ GET … / ← 302 …). Useful to inspect exactly what is called and where a block happens. Same as running with APIFY_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG.

Type:boolean

Default:false
