Instagram Reposts Scraper

📌 See What Instagram Profiles Repost

For social media researchers, marketers, and developers, this Actor collects available outbound reposts from public Instagram profiles. It returns one saved row for each first eligible repost it finds, with the reposting profile, post link, original creator, repost evidence, and available media, caption, and public engagement details. Use it to see what an account shares and trace each post back to its original creator.

• Review a profile's repost history with Instagram Reposts.
• Collect posts an account shared with Instagram Repost Scraper.
• Explore reposts from other Instagram accounts with How to See Reposts on Instagram of Others.
• Learn where a shared post appears with How to See Repost on Instagram.
• Start a profile collection with Scrape Instagram Reposts.

📦 Instagram Repost Rows

Review the profile that shared a post, the reposted post itself, the original creator, public engagement when available, a continuation point, and public evidence from the Reposts tab. Source media links are returned when available. The Actor does not download or store media files.

▶️ Collect Public Instagram Reposts

Run steps

1. Add one or more Instagram profile handles, numeric account IDs, or profile URLs.
2. Use the same identifier type for every item in one run.
3. Set Maximum reposts per profile if you want a cap. Leave it empty to return all available reposts until the source is exhausted.
4. Paste a continuation point from an earlier run when you want to continue that collection, then start the run.
5. Open the reposts link in the run output to review the dataset.

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of a source post immediately. If the same source post appears again through another submitted profile identifier, later matches are ignored. The saved row describes only the first match.

⚙️ Input

Use one run for profile identifiers of the same kind. The required profileIdentifiers field accepts handles, numeric account IDs, or profile URLs.

❓ FAQ

Which profile does a saved repost belong to?

Use repostingProfile to see the public profile whose Reposts tab supplied the first saved occurrence. originalCreator identifies the account tied to the reposted post.

What happens when the same post appears again?

Only the first eligible occurrence is saved. Later matches from another submitted profile identifier are ignored, and the saved row describes that first match.

How do I continue a collection?

Paste the returned continuationPoint into the next run and keep the same profileIdentifiers. Use it when you want to continue from the returned position.

Can I submit more than one profile?

Yes. Submit one or more handles, numeric account IDs, or profile URLs, but use the same identifier type for every item in the run. maxItems applies to each profile.

Does the Actor download media files?

No. It returns source image, video, and preview links when available. Those links are the delivery, so download them yourself if you need files.

Can I read private profiles or regular posts?

No. It is for publicly accessible profile repost history. Private profiles and ordinary profile posts are outside the Actor's scope.

Can I filter by date, media type, creator, or engagement?

No. The Actor collects the available repost history and does not offer those filters.

Can I find every account that reposted one post?

No. It follows selected profiles and returns what they reposted. It does not search for every account that reposted a specified post.
