Instagram Profile, Reels & Keyword Search Scraper — $0.10/1K with comments and engagement analytics

The most used Instagram scrapers give you raw data. This one also searches reels by keyword, reads every comment in the same run and calculates engagement rate, averages, best days and hours to post and top posts — for $0.10 per 1,000 posts, up to 17× less. No login.

Paste usernames, profile links, post links or search terms and get three clean tables: Posts and reels (one row per post, with likes, comments, views and engagement rate), Profiles (followers plus calculated averages, posting frequency, best posting times, top hashtags and top posts, ready to compare) and, if you want them, Comments. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the API.

How to scrape Instagram profiles, posts and reels

1. Paste usernames (natgeo or @natgeo), profile links or links to single posts and reels — up to 1,000. Or type search terms (fabrizio corona, home workout) to get the reels Instagram lists for each term, from any public account.
2. Choose what to read (posts and reels, posts only, reels only) and how many posts per profile or reels per search term.
3. Click Start. Open the Posts and reels, Profiles and Comments tabs in the Output, or export them as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Per-item summary

The SUMMARY record tells you, for every username, link or search term: status (ok, partial, private, not_found, empty, unsupported, duplicate, error, skipped), the reason when it could not be read, how many posts were saved and, for search terms, which topics were read.

Pricing

Pay only for what is saved. Platform usage is included: no start fee and no separate compute bill.

Apify plan	Per 1,000 posts and reels	Per 1,000 profiles	Per 1,000 comments
Free, Starter	$0.10	$1.80	$0.18
Scale	$0.09	$1.50	$0.16
Business, Platinum, Diamond	$0.08	$1.20	$0.14

Example on the Free plan: 20 profiles with 50 posts each = 20 × $0.0018 + 1,000 × $0.0001 = $0.14.

Private profiles, unsupported links and duplicates cost nothing. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap your spending: the Actor stops cleanly and keeps everything collected so far.

Which data is included?

Everything Instagram shows publicly to visitors: profile details, posts and reels newest first, likes, comments and reel views, and comments when requested. Instagram's own comment counter also includes replies. Image links come straight from Instagram's servers: download them soon if you want to keep the files.

FAQ

Do I need an Instagram account or cookies? No. The Actor reads what Instagram shows to logged-out visitors. You never share your account.

Can I search reels by keyword instead of by profile? Yes. Put the terms in keywords: the Actor returns the reels Instagram publicly lists for each term, from any account, in Instagram's own order. Names of people, shows, brands and recurring topics work best; a term Instagram has no results page for is reported as not_found, so try another wording. Turn on includeRelatedSearches to also read the related searches shown next to the term.

How is the engagement rate calculated? (likes + comments) / followers × 100 for each post; the profile value is the average of the posts read in the run.

Why are best posting times in UTC? Instagram gives post times in UTC. Convert them to your audience's time zone, for example +1 hour for Central Europe in winter.

Can I read private profiles? No. Private profiles are listed in the summary and cost nothing.

Is "possibly sponsored" the official paid partnership label? No. Instagram does not show that label to visitors. The Actor flags captions with advertising hashtags such as #ad or #sponsored, or phrases such as "paid partnership".

Is it legal to scrape Instagram profiles? The Actor only collects publicly available data. Profiles and comments contain personal data, so make sure you have a legitimate reason to process them and follow the GDPR or the privacy rules that apply to you. If in doubt, ask a lawyer. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta or Instagram.
