## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## Instagram Reposts & Shares Tracker · No Login

See who reposted content from any Instagram profile — with 157 data fields per result. Track brand amplification, identify organic advocates, measure content virality, and verify influencer campaign deliverables. No login required.

### What You Get

157 fields per repost including:

#### Engagement metrics
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `like_count` | Likes on the repost |
| `comment_count` | Comments on the repost |
| `share_count` | Shares of the repost |
| `repost_count` | How many times this was further reposted |
| `play_count` | Views (for video reposts) |

#### Content data
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `caption.text` | Reposter's caption (if any) |
| `caption.hashtags` | Pre-parsed hashtags |
| `video_url` | Direct video URL |
| `thumbnail_url` | Thumbnail image |
| `taken_at_date` | When it was reposted |
| `media_type` | Image / Video / Carousel |

### Use Cases

**Brand amplification tracking.** Enter your brand's username → see who's reposting your content organically. These are your most engaged advocates — people who found your content good enough to share with their own audience. They're your best candidates for ambassador programs or partnership conversations.

**Identify reposter contact info.** Extract reposter usernames from this actor, then run them through [Instagram Contact & Email Finder](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-user-info-scraper-cookieless) to get their emails and phone numbers for outreach.

**Content virality analysis.** Which posts got the most reposts? Sort by repost count to identify what content formats, topics, and styles drive amplification — not just likes. Use this to optimize your content strategy for sharability.

**Influencer campaign verification.** After a campaign, verify that the influencer's content was actually picked up and reposted by their audience. A post with 10K likes but 0 reposts indicates low-quality engagement. One with 500 reposts shows genuine audience resonance.

**Competitor intelligence.** See who reposted your competitor's content. These are engaged people in your target market who actively amplify content similar to yours.

### FAQ

**What's the difference between reposts and shares?**
Reposts are content that appears in a reposter's profile grid (they explicitly reposted your content). Shares are when someone sends your content to another user via DM — those are tracked in `share_count` but don't appear in this actor (they're private).

**How many reposts can I get per profile?**
Depends on how much of their content gets reposted. The actor paginates automatically.

**Can I combine this with email enrichment?**
Yes. Take the `user.username` values from this actor's output and run them through [Instagram Contact & Email Finder](https://apify.com/data-slayer/instagram-user-info-scraper-cookieless) to get emails and phone numbers for each reposter.
