## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Instagram Bio Links Scraper - Extract Website URLs 2026

Extract website links and URLs from Instagram profile bios. Get business websites, Linktree pages, social links, and contact information. Perfect for B2B lead generation and contact discovery.

### No Login Required

This actor does not require Instagram credentials. We use a secure, compliant method to extract public profile information including bio links. Your data is never shared and no account is at risk.

### Important: Processing Time

Instagram bio links extraction requires processing each profile individually:

- **100 profiles**: ~5-10 minutes
- **1,000 profiles**: ~30-60 minutes
- **10,000 profiles**: ~3-6 hours

The actor uses **streaming mode** - results are saved to the dataset every 60 seconds, so you'll see data appearing progressively. Even if the run times out, you keep all collected data.

### What You Get

For each profile, you receive:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `username` | Instagram username |
| `fullName` | Display name |
| `followers` | Follower count |
| `following` | Following count |
| `posts` | Number of posts |
| `bio` | Full biography text |
| `bioLink` | URL in the bio (website link) |
| `linkType` | Type of link (see below) |
| `linkDomain` | Domain extracted from URL |
| `isVerified` | Blue checkmark status |
| `isBusinessAccount` | Business account flag |
| `isPrivate` | Private account flag |
| `profilePicUrl` | Profile picture URL |

#### Link Types Detected

- **linktree** - Linktree pages (linktr.ee)
- **linkbio** - Bio.link, Linkbio pages
- **beacons** - Beacons.ai pages
- **stanstore** - Stan Store pages

### FAQ

#### How accurate is the data?

Bio links are extracted directly from Instagram profiles. The data is 100% accurate at the time of scraping. Links may change if users update their bios.

#### Can I extract from private accounts?

No. Private accounts don't show bio links publicly. Only public profiles can be scraped.

#### What happens if expandLinktree is enabled?

When enabled, the actor will visit Linktree/similar pages and extract all the links inside. This is slower but gives you more complete data (all social links, not just the main URL).

#### Is there a rate limit?

The actor handles rate limiting automatically. For best results, avoid running multiple instances simultaneously on the same target accounts.

#### Can I filter by follower count?

Yes, use Apify's post-run filtering or process the JSON/CSV export to filter by any field including followers.

#### How often should I run this?

For lead generation, weekly or bi-weekly runs work well. Profiles don't change bio links frequently.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "usernames": [
    "instagram"
  ]
}' |
apify call instaprism/instagram-bio-links-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
