⚠️ Before you use this

Instagram's Terms of Service prohibit automated scraping of the platform, and Meta actively detects and blocks bot-like traffic. This Actor ships as a structural template only — the data-extraction step is a placeholder. To get real data, use one of:

Instagram Graph API — the official, compliant way to pull data from Instagram Business/Creator accounts you own or manage, via a Facebook Developer App.
Apify's published Instagram Scraper — a maintained, ToS-aware Actor already available in the Apify Store that you can call from your own Actor via the Apify API/client instead of writing scraping logic yourself.

Input

Field	Type	Description
`usernames`	array of strings	Instagram usernames or full profile URLs to fetch posts from.
`resultsLimit`	integer	Max number of posts to fetch per profile (default: 20).
`proxyConfiguration`	object	Apify Proxy settings used for outbound requests.

Example input:

{
    "usernames": ["natgeo", "https://www.instagram.com/nasa/"],
    "resultsLimit": 20,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Output

Each item pushed to the dataset has the shape:

{
    "username": "natgeo",
    "postUrl": "https://www.instagram.com/p/xxxxxxx/",
    "caption": "Example caption text...",
    "likesCount": 1234,
    "commentsCount": 56,
    "timestamp": "2026-08-01T12:00:00Z",
    "mediaUrl": "https://example.com/media.jpg"
}
