Instagram usernames or profile URLs

usernames

Optional

Instagram usernames whose public story highlights should be scraped. Accepts plain handles (e.g. "instagram"), @handles (e.g. "@natgeo"), or full profile URLs (e.g. "https://www.instagram.com/instagram/"). Leave empty if you only pass highlightIds. NOT post, reel, or hashtag URLs.

Type:string[]

Max. items:100

Example:

[
  "instagram",
  "@natgeo"
]

Highlight IDs or highlight URLs

highlightIds

Optional

Direct Instagram highlight IDs (e.g. "18142207969557132") or highlight URLs (e.g. "https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18142207969557132/") whose story items should be scraped without listing a profile first. Combine with usernames or use alone. NOT a story, post, or profile URL.

Type:string[]

Max. items:200

Example:

[
  "18142207969557132"
]

Expand every story inside each highlight

includeStories

Optional

When true (default), each highlight is opened and one row is saved per story item with media URLs, timestamps, captions, and video metadata. When false, only the highlight list is saved (one row per highlight: title, cover, owner) at a lower per-row price. Turning this off is useful for cheap highlight discovery before deep-diving selected highlights.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Example:

true

Max highlights per user

maxHighlightsPerUser

Optional

Upper bound on how many highlights are processed per username, newest-tray order first. Accepts 1-200; defaults to 20. Raises the run cost ceiling because each highlight costs one provider call. NOT a cap on story items — use maxStoriesPerHighlight for that.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:200

Default:20

Example:

Max story items per highlight

maxStoriesPerHighlight

Optional

Upper bound on story items saved per expanded highlight. Accepts 1-1000; defaults to 100. Most highlights contain 5-50 items. NOT a global cap — use maxTotalItems for that.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:1000

Default:100

Example:

Max total rows per run

maxTotalItems

Optional

Hard global cap on saved rows across all targets; the run stops gracefully when reached. Accepts 1-100000; defaults to 5000. Works as a spend guard together with the per-result event price. NOT a per-target limit. Free Apify plan runs return up to 250 results per run.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:100000

Default:5000

Example:

500

Include raw response payload

includeRawData

Optional

When true, each row also carries the unmodified provider item under a "raw" key for debugging or field-level analysis. Defaults to false because raw payloads roughly triple row size. NOT needed for normal scraping — every normalized field is already extracted.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Example:

false
