Scraping mode

mode

Required

What to scrape from Instagram. 'profiles' returns the profile (with business email/phone, category, bio links) plus recent posts for each username. 'posts' returns full data for each post/reel URL or shortcode (tagged users, location, paid-partnership, carousel children). 'reels' returns a profile's reels (or a hashtag's reels). 'hashtags' returns top/recent posts for each hashtag. 'comments' returns the comments (and optional replies) of each post/reel. 'search' discovers users, hashtags or places matching each query string.

Type:string

Default:profiles

Options:

profilespostsreelshashtagscommentssearch

Inputs

inputs

Required

Usernames for 'profiles' and 'reels' (e.g. ['natgeo','nasa']), post/reel URLs or shortcodes for 'posts' and 'comments' (e.g. ['https://www.instagram.com/p/C1abcdEFghi/'] or ['C1abcdEFghi']), hashtag names for 'hashtags' (e.g. ['travel','food']), or free-text query strings for 'search' (e.g. ['coffee shop','nasa']). For 'reels' you may also pass a hashtag by prefixing '#'.

Type:string[]

Comments limit (comments mode)

commentsLimit

Optional

Maximum number of top-level comments to fetch per post in 'comments' mode. Each delivered comment is one billed result. Replies (when 'includeReplies' is on) are nested under their parent comment and are NOT billed separately. Ignored in other modes.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5000

Default:50

Include comment replies (comments mode)

includeReplies

Optional

When enabled in 'comments' mode, also fetch the threaded replies (child comments) of each top-level comment and nest them under its 'replies' field. This makes extra requests and consumes more proxy bandwidth. Ignored in other modes.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Search type (search mode)

searchType

Optional

What to return in 'search' mode. 'top' returns a blended mix of users, hashtags and places. 'user' returns only user/account matches. 'hashtag' returns only hashtag matches. 'place' returns only location/place matches. Ignored in other modes.

Type:string

Default:top

Options:

topuserhashtagplace

Only posts newer than

onlyPostsNewerThan

Optional

Keep only posts on or after this date (applies to 'profiles', 'reels' and 'hashtags' modes). Accepts an absolute date 'YYYY-MM-DD' (e.g. '2025-01-01') or a relative window like '7 days', '2 weeks', '3 months', '1 year'. Older posts are dropped and pagination stops early to save proxy bandwidth. Leave empty to disable.

Type:string

Skip pinned posts

skipPinnedPosts

Optional

When enabled, drop posts that the account pinned to the top of its grid (applies to 'profiles', 'reels' and 'hashtags' modes). Useful when you only want the natural reverse-chronological feed.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max results per input

maxResultsPerInput

Optional

Maximum posts/reels to return per input (per username or per hashtag). Ignored in 'posts' mode (one record per URL). Higher values paginate deeper and consume more residential-proxy bandwidth.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5000

Default:30

Custom proxy / unblocker URL (recommended)

customProxyUrl

Optional

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for reliable results. This target edge-blocks the shared Apify residential pool (anti-bot challenge / login-wall). When set, this single premium-unblocker URL is used as the ONLY proxy (no rotation — the unblocker handles IPs + challenge solving). Format: http://user:pass@host:port. Works with Bright Data Web Unlocker, Oxylabs Web Unblocker, ScraperAPI (proxy mode), ZenRows. Leave empty to fall back to the Apify proxy below.

Type:string

Proxy configuration

proxyConfig

Optional

Proxy settings. Instagram blocks datacenter IPs, so a RESIDENTIAL proxy is strongly recommended: set {"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}. Without it you will likely hit a login-wall and get an instructions record instead of data.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": [
    "RESIDENTIAL"
  ]
}

Session cookies (optional)

sessionCookies

Optional

Optional Instagram session cookies to raise rate limits and unlock more results. In Chrome DevTools -> Application -> Cookies on instagram.com, copy at least sessionid, csrftoken and ds_user_id. Format: [{"name": "sessionid", "value": "..."}, {"name": "csrftoken", "value": "..."}]. Leave empty to run unauthenticated (residential proxy then recommended).

Type:object[]

Default:

[]
