Instagram Likers Scraper - Export Users Who Liked Any Post 2026

Extract users who liked specific Instagram posts. Likers show interest in the content - use them to build targeted lead lists, create lookalike audiences, and find potential customers at scale.

No Login Required

Your Instagram account stays safe. This Actor:

• Does NOT require your Instagram login or cookies
• Uses our own infrastructure to fetch data
• Zero risk of account suspension for you
• Works with any public Instagram profile

Unlike browser extensions or tools that use your account, we handle all scraping server-side. Your credentials are never needed.

Important: Processing Time

This Actor uses a distributed scraping architecture. Here's what to expect:

Data Size	First Results	Complete Results
5,000 likes	5-10 min	10-20 min
20,000 likes	10-20 min	30-60 min
50,000+ likes	20-30 min	1-2+ hours

Why does it take time?

• Instagram has strict rate limits to prevent spam
• We use multiple proxy servers worldwide to stay undetected
• Viral posts with many likes require extensive data fetching

Don't worry about timeouts! Our streaming mode saves results every 60 seconds. Even if Apify times out after 24h, you'll have all the data collected up to that point.

What You Get

• User ID - Unique Instagram identifier for each liker
• Username - Instagram handle (without @)
• Full Name - Display name from their profile
• Profile Picture URL - Direct link to their profile image
• Verification Status - Whether the account has a blue checkmark
• Source Post - Which post they liked
• Timestamp - When the data was scraped

FAQ

Why is my scrape taking so long?

Instagram limits how fast data can be fetched. Viral posts with 100k+ likes require significant time to extract all users. Our distributed architecture maximizes speed while staying undetected.

Can I scrape likers from private accounts?

No, this Actor only works with public Instagram posts. Private accounts require login credentials which we don't support.

What if the Actor times out?

Your data is safe! Streaming mode saves results every 60 seconds to the Apify dataset. If the run times out, you can download whatever was collected.

Why can't I get all likers from old posts?

Instagram may limit access to like data on older posts. Recent posts typically return more complete data.

Can I scrape multiple posts at once?

Yes! Provide an array of post URLs. Likers from all posts will be extracted and you can identify which post each came from via the sourcePost field.

How do I find good posts to scrape?

Use our Instagram Posts Scraper to find high-engagement posts from accounts in your niche. Then scrape likers from those posts.

Are likers deduplicated across posts?

Users who liked multiple posts will appear once per post. You can deduplicate by userId after export if needed.

How often can I run this?

As often as you need. Each run is independent. For monitoring engagement trends, set up scheduled runs via Apify.
