Instagram Posts Scraper

Scrape Instagram post and reel metrics at scale. Get views, likes, comments, captions, media details, and optional combined Instagram + Facebook metrics.

Input

Field	Type	Description
`postUrls`	array	Instagram post/reel URLs
`includeFacebookMetrics`	boolean	Enable to get combined IG + FB metrics for cross-posted content (slower)

Example Input

{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.instagram.com/reel/ABC123/",
    "https://www.instagram.com/p/XYZ789/"
  ],
  "includeFacebookMetrics": false
}

Output

Each post includes:

{
  "url": "https://www.instagram.com/reel/ABC123/",
  "originalUrl": "https://www.instagram.com/share/reel/Tok3n/",
  "shortcode": "ABC123",
  "mediaId": "1234567890123456789",
  "author": "username",
  "authorId": "12345678",
  "authorUrl": "https://www.instagram.com/username/",
  "caption": "Amazing content! #viral",
  "views": 150000,
  "likes": 5000,
  "comments": 200,
  "isVideo": true,
  "thumbnailUrl": "https://...",
  "datePosted": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
  "status": "available",
  "scrapedAt": "2024-01-20T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Supported URLs

https://www.instagram.com/p/SHORTCODE/ - Posts
https://www.instagram.com/reel/SHORTCODE/ - Reels
https://www.instagram.com/tv/SHORTCODE/ - IGTV
https://www.instagram.com/share/... - Share links (resolved to the canonical post URL)

For share links, url holds the resolved canonical post URL (the one actually scraped) and originalUrl holds the exact link you submitted. For non-share links the two are identical.

Facebook Metrics

When includeFacebookMetrics is enabled, the scraper includes combined metrics from Instagram and Facebook for eligible cross-posted content. If enhanced metrics are temporarily unavailable, standard post metrics are still returned.

Use Cases

Content Analysis - Track post performance metrics
Competitor Research - Monitor competitor content engagement
Influencer Vetting - Verify engagement rates and content quality
Cross-Platform Analytics - Get combined Instagram + Facebook metrics
Portfolio Building - Collect content data for reporting

This scraper is optimized for efficiency. Scraping 100 posts typically costs less than $0.10 in platform usage.
