Why This Scraper

Most Instagram post scrapers on Apify return 20-40 fields and skip critical metrics. This actor returns 128 fields per post — including repost_count, share_count, save_count, and full audio/music metadata that others miss entirely. If you're analyzing content performance, you need the complete picture.

Key data others miss:

• repost_count — how many times the post was reshared (Apify's own scraper doesn't return this)
• share_count — separate from reposts, this is DM/story shares
• save_count — bookmark saves, the strongest engagement signal
• Full audio metadata — artist name, song title, audio ID, original audio flag
• Video technical specs — duration, dimensions, codec info
• Content flags — is_paid_partnership, sponsor tags, product tags

What You Get

128 fields per post, organized in five groups:

Engagement Metrics: like_count, comment_count, view_count (for Reels/videos), share_count, save_count, repost_count, play_count

Content Data: caption text, hashtags, mentions, tagged users, location (name, lat/lng, address), post type (photo/video/carousel/reel), media URLs (images, video, carousel items), thumbnail URLs, accessibility text (alt text)

Audio & Music (Reels): audio title, artist name, audio ID, is_original_audio, audio URL, music genre

Creator Profile: username, full name, user ID, profile picture URL, is_verified, follower_count, biography, external URL, business category

Technical Metadata: post ID, shortcode, posted timestamp, taken_at_timestamp, media dimensions, video duration, is_paid_partnership, sponsor tags, product tags, filter type, can_reshare flag

Use Cases

Content Performance Analysis — Compare engagement rates across post types (photo vs Reel vs carousel). Identify which formats drive the most saves and reposts — the metrics that actually signal purchase intent.

Competitor Benchmarking — Pull detailed metrics from a competitor's top-performing posts. Analyze their caption style, hashtag strategy, posting cadence, and which audio tracks drive virality.

Influencer Campaign Tracking — Verify actual engagement numbers on sponsored posts. Check is_paid_partnership flags, compare view counts to follower counts, and track save rates as a quality metric.

Trending Audio Discovery — Extract audio metadata from viral Reels in your niche. Build a library of trending sounds before they peak.

UGC Monitoring — Track posts that tag your brand or location. Get complete engagement data to measure earned media value.

Ad Creative Research — Scrape competitors' ad posts (identifiable via is_paid_partnership) to analyze creative formats, caption length, hashtag usage, and engagement patterns.

Input

Field	Description	Example
urls	One or more Instagram post or Reel URLs	https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/, https://www.instagram.com/reel/XYZ789/

Accepts any public Instagram post URL — standard posts (/p/), Reels (/reel/), and TV (/tv/). Paste one per line for bulk scraping. Processes hundreds of URLs in a single run.

Bulk runs are more economical

For best value, paste multiple post or Reel URLs into postUrls and process them in one run instead of starting a separate run for every post. Apify charges a small actor-start event each time an actor run begins, so batching 10, 50, or 100 URLs into one run usually reduces the effective overhead per post and finishes with cleaner exports.

This actor processes bulk inputs steadily against the upstream Instagram API to avoid unnecessary request spikes. If you are using the Apify API from your own app, collect post URLs into batches and submit them together whenever possible.
