Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Instagram Post & Reel Details Scraper · No Login Paste any Instagram post or Reel URL and get back 128 data fields — engagement metrics, audio metadata, video URLs, creator profiles, and content flags. Works for single URLs or bulk batches. No login, no cookies, no Instagram account needed. ### Why This Actor Every profile-based Instagram scraper returns posts as a side effect of scraping a username. This actor does the opposite — you give it a URL, it returns everything about that specific post or Reel. | | **This Actor** | Apify Post Scraper | ParseForge | |---|---|---|---| | Input | **Post / Reel URL** | Username or URL | Username | | Total fields | **128** | ~40 | 25 | | `repost_count` | ✅ | ❌ Not available yet¹ | ❌ | | `save_count` | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | `share_count` | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | `is_paid_partnership` flag | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | | Audio metadata (Reels) | ✅ | Partial | ❌ | | `video_subtitles_locale` | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | Bulk URL input | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | | Login required | **No** | No | No | | Price | **$2.50/1K** | $2.70/1K | $2.50/1K | ¹ Apify's own Post Scraper documentation states: *"Reposts metric is not part of Instagram Post Scraper's datasets yet — our team is working to make that happen."* This actor already returns `repost_count`. ### How It Works **Step 1.** Enter one or more Instagram post or Reel URLs (e.g., `https://www.instagram.com/p/DXti225gB15/`). **Step 2.** Click "Start." **Step 3.** Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab. --- ### What You Get 128 fields per result, organized by category: #### Engagement metrics | Field | Description | |---|---| | `metrics.like_count` | Total likes | | `metrics.comment_count` | Total comments | | `metrics.play_count` | Total video views | | `metrics.ig_play_count` | Instagram-native view count | | `metrics.share_count` | Times sent to other users | | `metrics.save_count` | Times saved to collections | | `metrics.repost_count` | Times reposted by others | #### Content data | Field | Description | |---|---| | `caption.text` | Full caption text | | `caption.hashtags` | Pre-parsed hashtag array | | `caption.mentions` | Pre-parsed @mentions array | | `taken_at_date` | Post date (ISO format) | | `is_video` | Boolean — image or video | | `media_format` | `image` / `video` | | `media_name` | `post` / `reel` | | `video_url` | Direct video file URL | | `video_duration` | Video length in seconds | | `thumbnail_url` | Thumbnail image URL | | `image_versions.items` | All image resolutions | | `code` | Post shortcode | | `id` | Post ID | #### Content flags | Field | Description | |---|---| | `is_paid_partnership` | Sponsored / branded content flag | | `is_pinned` | Pinned to profile grid | | `comments_disabled` | Whether comments are off | | `like_and_view_counts_disabled` | Whether metrics are hidden | | `is_reuse_allowed` | Content reuse permissions | #### Audio & music (Reels) | Field | Description | |---|---| | `clips_metadata.audio_canonical_id` | Audio track ID | | `clips_metadata.audio_type` | `original_sounds` or `licensed_music` | | `video_subtitles_locale` | Language of auto-generated captions | | `has_audio` | Whether the Reel has audio | | `number_of_qualities` | Video quality versions available | #### Creator profile | Field | Description | |---|---| | `user.username` | Creator handle | | `user.full_name` | Display name | | `user.is_verified` | Blue check status | | `user.id` | Instagram user ID | | `user.account_type` | 1=personal / 2=business / 3=creator | | `user.is_private` | Account privacy status | #### Collaboration | Field | Description | |---|---| | `tagged_users` | Users tagged in the post | | `coauthor_producers` | Collaboration partners | | `sponsor_tags` | Brand sponsorship tags | --- ### Sample Output ```json { "metrics": { "like_count": 4099, "comment_count": 12923, "play_count": 355123, "ig_play_count": 355123, "share_count": 10919, "save_count": 11085, "repost_count": 154 }, "caption": { "text": "I gained 50,000 followers in 17 days using Claude AI.\n\nNo paid ads.

All in one batch run without manual checking. **Viral content research.** Found a Reel that's going viral? Get the full picture: exact view counts, share-to-like ratio, save count (which signals genuine value), repost count (which signals audience amplification), and the exact audio track being used. Understand what made it work. **Competitor post analytics.** Paste URLs from a competitor's top posts. Analyze `share_count`, `save_count`, and `repost_count` to understand which content formats drive real engagement beyond surface-level likes. These three metrics are what most scrapers miss. **Sponsored content detection.** Filter results by `is_paid_partnership: true` to identify which posts in a creator's catalog are sponsored. Use this to assess how saturated an influencer's feed is with brand deals before signing them. **Audio track identification.** Every Reel returns `clips_metadata.audio_canonical_id` — the unique ID of the audio track used. Combine with our [Audio & Trending Sounds Scraper](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-audio-sounds-scraper) to find all other Reels using that same audio. **Bulk post analytics for reporting.** Paste a list of 50 post URLs — your own posts, client posts, competitor posts — and get a full analytics dataset in one run. Export to CSV and feed directly into your reporting dashboard. *** ### Key Features **URL-first input.** Not a profile scraper with a URL option — this actor is built specifically for URL input. Give it any post or Reel URL in any format Instagram supports. **128 fields per result.** Including `repost_count`, `save_count`, and `share_count` — three engagement metrics that Apify's own post scraper does not yet return. **Works for posts and Reels.** Images, videos, carousels, and Reels — the `media_format` and `media_name` fields tell you exactly what type each result is. **Bulk processing.** Enter dozens or hundreds of URLs in a single run. Results are emitted as they complete — no waiting for the entire batch. **No login, no cookies.** No Instagram account needed. No ban risk. **Export-ready.** JSON, CSV, Excel. Direct import into Google Sheets, Clay, Make, Zapier, n8n, or any analytics tool. *** ### FAQ **Does this work for both posts and Reels?** Yes. Any public Instagram URL works — posts, Reels, carousels, and video posts. The `media_format` field (`image` or `video`) and `media_name` field (`post` or `reel`) tell you what each result is. **What URL formats does it accept?** Standard post URLs (`https://instagram.com/p/ABC123/`), Reel URLs (`https://instagram.com/reel/ABC123/`), and shortcodes (`ABC123`). **Why are `share_count` and `save_count` important?** Likes are easy to buy. Shares and saves are high-signal — they mean someone thought the content was worth sending to a friend or saving for later. Shares indicate audience resonance; saves indicate perceived long-term value. Most scrapers don't return these fields. **What does `repost_count` mean?** Instagram's repost feature (added in 2025) lets users share others' posts directly to their own feeds. `repost_count` tells you how many times a post has been reposted. It's a strong virality signal that Apify's own scraper doesn't yet capture. **What is `video_subtitles_locale`?** The language Instagram auto-detected for the Reel's auto-generated captions (e.g., `hi_FB` for Hindi). Useful for language filtering and content localization research. **Can I detect sponsored content?** Yes. The `is_paid_partnership` field is `true` for any post marked as branded/sponsored content. *** ### 🧩 Other Instagram Actors by Data Slayer | Actor | What it does | Link | |---|---|---| | Instagram Reels Search | Discover trending Reels by keyword | [Try it →](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-search-reels) | | Instagram Profile Reels | All Reels from any profile | [Try it →](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-profile-reels) | | Instagram Contact & Email Finder | Emails, phones, websites from profiles | [Try it →](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-user-info-scraper-cookieless) | | Instagram Comments Extractor | Comments with enrichment | [Try it →](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-comments-scraper-no-login-required) | | Instagram Post Likes Scraper | Who liked a post — with optional enrichment | [Try it →](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-likes) | | Instagram Hashtag Posts | Posts & Reels by hashtag | [Try it →](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-hashtags-scraper-no-login-required) | *** ### 💬 Feedback & Support We actively maintain this actor and ship improvements weekly.
