What does Instagram Reel Scraper do?
This Actor takes a list of Instagram Reel URLs and attempts to extract structured metadata from each one, such as:
- Video URL
- Caption text
- View count
- Like count
- Comment count
- Author username
Results are pushed to the Actor's default Dataset, which you can export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the API.

Notes & limitations
- Instagram frequently changes its page structure and actively blocks anonymous/unauthenticated scraping. Residential proxies are strongly recommended.
- Some reels may only return partial data or fail to parse without an authenticated session.
- This Actor does not log in to Instagram and does not store or require Instagram credentials.
Support
For issues or feature requests, open an issue on the Actor's Apify Store page or contact the Actor's author.
