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.

Paid users receive the full list returned by Instagram for that post. **Q: Does Instagram limit how many likers are returned?**\ A: Yes — Instagram may cap the total likers returned for posts with extremely high engagement. This is a platform-side limitation outside the scraper's control. **Q: How fresh is the data?**\ A: Data is fetched live at the time of each run. Liker lists reflect the state of the post at scrape time. **Q: Can I export the data?**\ A: Yes — results can be exported as JSON or CSV directly from the Apify dataset, or accessed programmatically via the Apify API. *** ### 📧 Support & Feedback For issues, feature requests, or feedback, use the Actor's issue tracker or contact support directly.
