👥 Liker and source-post data

What it returns

Each saved dataset row connects one discovered liker to the public Instagram post that produced it. A row can include the liker's stable ID, handle, display name, verification and privacy flags, profile image URL, recent activity, and source-post details such as media type, owner, caption, dates, media links, and counts. Optional values appear when Instagram exposes them.

Dataset access

The run output links to the default dataset overview. Open the rows in Apify or retrieve them through the Apify API.

Genuine current-beta row

This shortened row is a real row from a successful current-beta run. The JSON string "..." stands for the omitted media URL array in sourcePost.mediaUrls, so the example stays short while the field table remains complete.

❓ FAQ

What does leaving maxItems empty do?

It returns all available liker results until the public source data is exhausted. Set a positive value when you want to stop after a smaller total.

Can it read private Instagram posts?

No. The Actor works with publicly accessible posts. A liker may have a private account, and the row can show that privacy status, but private profile data is not provided.

What does one dataset row contain?

Each row connects a liker account to the public source post. It can include identity and profile signals for the liker plus the source post owner, media, caption, dates, and available engagement counts.

Why might an optional field be missing?

Instagram does not expose every field for every account or post. Optional fields are included only when the public source provides them.

How do I use the results in code?

Open the results link in the run output to view the default dataset, or retrieve the dataset rows through the Apify API.
