Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

Profile URL (`https://www.instagram.com/username/`) β†’ profile + posts (+ comments). Direct post / reel URL (`.../p/{code}/` or `.../reel/{code}/`) β†’ that post's full data + comments (or comments-only, see below). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of posts to scrape from each profile URL. ## `includePosts` (type: `boolean`): Scrape the profile's posts (rich post objects: caption, media URLs, counts, author, video/image versions). Off = profile info only. ## `downloadMediaUrls` (type: `boolean`): Download each post's images/videos to the Key-Value Store (cookieless). Off = media URLs only. ## `extractAudio` (type: `boolean`): For direct post/reel URLs: extract the audio track to an MP3 in the Key-Value Store (output field 'audioFile'). Cookieless. Skipped for silent videos. ## `monitoringMode` (type: `boolean`): Only scrape posts that are new compared to previous runs. Requires 'Include posts'. ## `includeComments` (type: `boolean`): Also scrape comments for each post (requires 'Include posts'). Fully cookieless β€” all top-level comments up to your limit, attached to each post in a 'comments' array. ## `maxComments` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of top-level comments to scrape per post. ## `commentsSortOrder` (type: `string`): 'Popular' = most-liked first (cookieless: ranks the fetched comments by like count). 'Recent' = newest first. ## `commentsOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only applies to direct post/reel URLs. ON β†’ output flat comment rows (one per comment), like a dedicated comment scraper. OFF (default) β†’ the full post object with its comments attached. No effect on profile URLs. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of pages processed at the same time. ## `minConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Minimum number of pages processed at the same time. ## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`): How many times to retry a failed request before giving up. ## `storeName` (type: `string`): Custom name for the Key-Value Store holding downloaded media, so it persists beyond default retention and can be reused. Lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only (e.g. 'my-store-1'). Leave blank to use the default store. ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Proxy servers used to route requests. Residential is recommended for Instagram. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.instagram.com/zuck/" ], "maxItems": 12, "includePosts": false, "downloadMediaUrls": false, "extractAudio": false, "monitoringMode": false, "includeComments": false, "maxComments": 100, "commentsSortOrder": "popular", "commentsOnly": false, "maxConcurrency": 10, "minConcurrency": 1, "maxRequestRetries": 100, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
