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 ### ๐Ÿ“Š 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**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-engagement-scraper/examples/instagram-profile-engagement). - Check recent Reels measures with [**Instagram Reels Engagement**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-engagement-scraper/examples/instagram-reels-engagement). - Review recent feed-post measures in [**Instagram Post Engagement**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-engagement-scraper/examples/instagram-post-engagement). - Use [**Instagram Engagement Analysis**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-engagement-scraper/examples/instagram-engagement-analysis) to compare profile details and content mix. - Check normalized measures with [**Instagram Engagement Rate**](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-engagement-scraper/examples/instagram-engagement-rate). #### ๐Ÿ“ˆ 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. #### โ–ถ๏ธ 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. #### โš™๏ธ Input **Input fields** | Field | Type | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | `usernames` | array of strings | Required. Enter one or more public Instagram usernames. Use only the username, with or without `@`. | | `sampleDepth` | integer | Chooses how many recent feed posts and Reels to check for each username. Clear it to return all available results until the source is exhausted. A larger number checks more content. The default is `1`. | Clear `sampleDepth` to return all available results until the source is exhausted. The value applies to the recent feed-post and Reels sample for each username. **Example input** This is the smallest successful common input from the current beta run: ```json { "usernames": [ "instagram" ], "sampleDepth": 1 } ``` #### ๐Ÿงพ Output The Output panel opens the default dataset. Rows always include `profile` and `contentMix`. The engagement objects can be omitted when the sample has no matching content, and `reelsEngagement.per1000Views` is omitted when Reels view data is not available. **Output link** | Field | Type | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | `dataset` | link | Opens the Instagram profile analyses in the default dataset. | **Profile row with feed and Reels measures** This shape has sampled feed posts and Reels.

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. ### ๐Ÿ“ Changelog **v0.0** (19-09-2026) - Initial release. ### ๐Ÿ†˜ Support For issues, questions, or feature requests, [file a ticket](https://console.apify.com/actors/maximedupre~instagram-engagement-scraper/issues) and I'll fix or implement it in less than 24h ๐Ÿซก ### ๐Ÿ”— Related Actors - [Instagram Profile Stats Scraper](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-profile-stats-scraper): Check known public profiles and review follower, following, and post counts beside engagement data. - [Influencer Scraper](https://apify.com/maximedupre/influencer-scraper): Find public creator profiles across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube before focused Instagram comparisons. - [Instagram User Search Scraper](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-user-search-scraper): Discover public Instagram accounts by keyword, then use their usernames for engagement checks. - [Instagram Related Users Scraper](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-related-users-scraper): Explore public accounts related to a known profile when you need more creators to compare. - [Instagram Post & Reel Content Scraper](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-post-content-scraper): Collect recent public posts and Reels when you need content-level context beside profile metrics. **Made with โค๏ธ by Maxime Duprรฉ** # Actor input Schema ## `usernames` (type: `array`): Enter one or more public Instagram usernames.
