Social Post Reel Search Scraper

Find public Instagram posts and reels by keyword and collect the matching results in one place. Social Post Reel Search is built for marketers, researchers, creators, and agencies who need fast access to Instagram content without manually scrolling through search results.

• Collect matching results exactly as they appear from the source, preserving the original fields.
• Continue through additional pages automatically so you can get more than just the first batch of results.
• Control how many results you want in a single run with a simple maximum limit.
• Review rich post details such as captions, hashtags, usernames, likes, comments, shares, views, and media links.
• Filter your research by topic, brand name, creator name, campaign phrase, or trend keyword.
• Export the collected data for reporting, analysis, lead research, or content tracking.

Use Cases

Market Research

Marketing teams use this actor to search Instagram for a brand, product category, or trending topic and quickly see what public posts and reels are showing up. The returned fields like caption text, hashtags, like count, comment count, share count, and play count help teams understand what content is getting attention and how people are talking about it.

Influencer Discovery

Agencies and brands can search for creator names, campaign terms, or niche topics to find public reels and posts connected to a specific audience. Fields such as username, full name, follower count, verification status, and engagement metrics make it easier to shortlist creators worth reviewing.

Content Inspiration

Social media managers can search for keywords tied to their industry and collect examples of real posts and reels that are already performing in the wild. By reviewing captions, hashtags, media type, and thumbnail links, they can spot recurring themes, formats, and hooks to inspire their own content calendar.

Competitive Monitoring

Businesses can search for competitor names or product terms to see how public Instagram content is being presented and discussed. The actor returns post-level details like caption, media format, engagement counts, and publication timing, which helps teams compare messaging and identify patterns in audience response.

Campaign Tracking

Brands running launches or hashtag campaigns can search for campaign keywords and gather public posts and reels that mention them. This makes it easier to monitor how the campaign is spreading, which creators are participating, and which posts are generating the strongest engagement.

Audience Research

Researchers and growth teams can search for community terms, hobbies, or interest-based keywords to understand what kind of public Instagram content appears around those topics. The returned usernames, captions, hashtags, and media details help reveal audience language, content style, and recurring interests.

How It Works

1. Enter the keyword you want to search, such as a brand name, topic, or creator.
2. Set how many matching results you want to collect, or leave the default limit in place.
3. Start the actor and let it gather public Instagram posts and reels automatically.
4. The actor keeps moving through more results until it reaches your limit or there are no more matches.
5. Review the collected records and export them for reporting, analysis, or sharing with your team.

Getting Started

Getting started is simple: click Try for free, fill in your search keyword, choose your result limit, and click Run. No coding is required, and you do not need to understand how the data is collected behind the scenes. When the run finishes, you can download the results in JSON, CSV, or Excel depending on how you want to review or share them. This makes it easy to move from search to analysis in just a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need technical skills?

No. This actor is designed for business users, marketers, researchers, and creators who want results without dealing with code. You only need to enter a keyword and choose how many results you want.

How fast does it run?

Speed depends on how broad your keyword is and how many results you request. Smaller searches usually finish quickly, while larger searches may take longer because the actor keeps collecting more matching posts and reels until it reaches your limit.

What format is the output?

You can export the results in formats that are easy to work with, including JSON, CSV, and Excel. That means you can review the data in spreadsheets, share it with teammates, or import it into your own reporting workflow.

Is this legal to use?

This actor is intended for collecting public Instagram content that is already available from the source. You should always use the results responsibly, respect applicable laws, and follow the platform’s terms and your organization’s policies.

Can I schedule it to run automatically?

Yes, you can set it up to run on a schedule if you want regular updates for a keyword, brand, or campaign. That is useful for ongoing monitoring, trend tracking, and recurring reporting without manual work each time.
