Instagram Engagement Scraper

📊 Compare Instagram Profile Engagement

Use this Actor for influencer marketers, agencies, brand teams, and researchers who need to compare public Instagram profiles. Enter usernames and get profile details, recent feed and Reels sample counts, and separate engagement measures, including normalized values per 1,000 followers. Each username is checked separately, and the recent sample keeps feed posts and Reels distinct.

• Compare a shortlist of public creators with Instagram Profile Engagement.
• Check recent Reels measures with Instagram Reels Engagement.
• Review recent feed-post measures in Instagram Post Engagement.
• Use Instagram Engagement Analysis to compare profile details and content mix.
• Check normalized measures with Instagram Engagement Rate.

📈 Compare Feed and Reels Measures

The default dataset contains public Instagram profile analyses. It shows the profile identity and audience context, the recent content mix, and separate engagement measures for feed posts and Reels when the sample includes them. Reels view data is shown separately when it is available, so you can tell which measures have view support.

Profile context

Each row can show the public username, profile URL, display name, follower count, verification state, and post count.

Engagement context

Feed and Reels measures use their own fields. The content mix shows how many distinct feed posts and Reels were sampled, and per-1,000-follower values help compare profiles with different audience sizes.

▶️ Analyze Recent Instagram Profiles

Run steps

1. Add one or more public Instagram usernames. Use the username with or without @.
2. Choose how many recent feed posts and Reels to check for each username.
3. Start the run and open the default dataset when it finishes.

The Actor checks each submitted username separately. It reads public profile data and does not require customer authentication. The sample is recent, not a lifetime archive of every post or Reel.

❓ FAQ

Why is reelsEngagement.per1000Views missing?

That field appears only when reelsEngagement.viewDataAvailable is true. The per-1,000-follower Reels measure can still be available when view data is missing.

What does sampleDepth change?

It sets how many recent feed posts and Reels the Actor checks for each username. Clear it to return all available results until the source is exhausted. It does not request a lifetime archive.

Can I submit several usernames?

Yes. Add several public usernames to usernames, and the Actor checks each one separately.

Can I analyze a private or deleted profile?

No. The Actor is for public Instagram profiles. Private, deleted, or otherwise non-public profiles are outside its scope.

Can the same Reel be counted twice?

No. A Reel that appears in both the feed and Reels collections is counted once in the recent sample.

Does this return comments, liker lists, or post-level records?

No. This Actor returns profile-level analysis. It does not collect individual comments, liker lists, or post-level engagement records.

Does it track engagement changes across runs?

No. Each run analyzes its selected recent sample. Cross-run monitoring, historical trend storage, and alerts are outside this Actor's scope.

Do I need Instagram credentials?

No customer authentication is required. Submit public usernames and the Actor reads public profile data.
