Instagram URLs

startUrls

Optional

Profile, post, or reel URLs to scrape. Profile URL (https://www.instagram.com/username/) → profile + posts (+ comments). Direct post / reel URL (.../p/{code}/ or .../reel/{code}/) → that post's full data + comments (or comments-only, see below).

Type:array

Max posts per profile

maxItems

Optional

Maximum number of posts to scrape from each profile URL.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Default:12

Include posts

includePosts

Optional

Scrape the profile's posts (rich post objects: caption, media URLs, counts, author, video/image versions). Off = profile info only.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Download media files

downloadMediaUrls

Optional

Download each post's images/videos to the Key-Value Store (cookieless). Off = media URLs only.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Extract audio (MP3)

extractAudio

Optional

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.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Monitoring mode (only new posts)

monitoringMode

Optional

Only scrape posts that are new compared to previous runs. Requires 'Include posts'.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Metrics mode (flat analytics rows)

metricsMode

Optional

Output ONE flat, analytics-ready row per post — likes, comments, views, plays, publishedAt, mediaType, username, followers, countsHidden, postStatus, checkedAt — instead of the raw Instagram object. Ideal for engagement tracking, spreadsheets, and dashboards. Works with profile URLs (recent posts) and direct post/reel URLs; unavailable posts come back as status rows (postStatus: unavailable, never billed). Re-run the same URLs on a schedule to track post performance over time. Implies 'Include posts'.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Validate accounts (don't scrape)

accountValidation

Optional

ON = validation mode: check each handle's status and emit one row per handle. OFF (default) = normal profile/post scraping.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Usernames to validate

usernames

Optional

Handles to check in validation mode. Accepts bare usernames (nasa), @handles (@nasa), or profile URLs — mix freely. If left empty, the Instagram URLs above are used instead.

Type:array

Include comments

includeComments

Optional

Also scrape comments for each post (requires 'Include posts'). Fully cookieless — all top-level comments up to your limit, attached to each post in a 'comments' array.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max comments per post

maxComments

Optional

Maximum number of top-level comments to scrape per post.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Default:100

Comments sort order

commentsSortOrder

Optional

'Popular' = most-liked first (cookieless: ranks the fetched comments by like count). 'Recent' = newest first.

Type:string

Default:popular

Options:

popularrecent

Comments only (direct post/reel URLs)

commentsOnly

Optional

Only applies to direct post/reel URLs. ON → output flat comment rows (one per comment), like a dedicated comment scraper. OFF (default) → the full post object with its comments attached. No effect on profile URLs.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max concurrency

maxConcurrency

Optional

Maximum number of pages processed at the same time.

Type:integer

Default:10

Min concurrency

minConcurrency

Optional

Minimum number of pages processed at the same time.

Type:integer

Default:1

Max request retries

maxRequestRetries

Optional

How many times to retry a failed request before giving up. A blocked request (HTTP 401) rotates to a fresh proxy session on each retry, so a handful of retries is plenty; very high values just burn compute on a hard block.

Type:integer

Default:5

Key-Value Store name for downloaded media (optional)

storeName

Optional

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.

Type:string | null

Proxy configuration (optional override)

proxy

Optional

Leave empty — the actor already routes all traffic through its own built-in residential proxy at no extra cost to you. Only set this if you want to use your own proxies.

Type:object
