## FAQ

### What data can I get from public Instagram posts?

The Instagram post review task returns each link’s status, author, caption, hashtags, mentions, tagged accounts, publish date, media details, like and comment counts, and other available post information.

### Can I check Instagram posts without logging in?

The Instagram post review task can read public posts without an Instagram login. Private and age-restricted posts may need your own cookies, and a private post is accessible only if your account follows it.

### Can I export Instagram post data to CSV or Excel?

Results from the Instagram post review task land in a dataset you can download as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, RSS, or an HTML table, or read through the Apify API.

### How many Instagram links can I check in one run?

The Instagram post review task accepts 1 to 10,000 post, Reel, or IGTV links per run. Large crawls are subject to your plan limits, and duplicate links are merged.

### Can I run an Instagram post check on a schedule or through an API?

You can run the Instagram post review task on an Apify Schedule, through the Apify API, or from integrations such as Zapier, Make, and n8n.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/dataspryva/instagram-posts-and-reels-data-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
