Instagram Posts & Reels Scraper

Scrape every post or reel from any public Instagram profile: captions, hashtags, mentions, likes, comments, reel play counts, image and video URLs, video length, collaborators, tagged accounts, location and audio. Paste one username or a thousand.

You don't need an Instagram login, cookies or an account. Results come back newest-first, with pinned posts on top, in the same order Instagram shows them.

How to use it

1. Add one or more profiles under Instagram usernames or profile URLs: therock, @therock or https://www.instagram.com/therock/. Use Bulk edit to paste a long list.
2. Choose What to scrape:
   • Posts: everything on the profile grid (photos, carousels and reels).
   • Reels only: the profile's Reels tab, including reels that aren't shown on the grid.
3. Optionally set Max items per profile, and/or Only posts newer than (a date like 2026-01-31, or a period like 7 days or 3 months).
4. Run it.

What you get

One row per post or reel:

Field	Example
url / shortCode	https://www.instagram.com/p/Dcw0BfjB_nX/ / Dcw0BfjB_nX
type	Image, Video or Sidecar (carousel)
isReel / isPinned	true / false
caption	I’m inspired to build @projectrock to new levels. Embrace the hard things. …
hashtags	ProjectRock
mentions	projectrock
timestamp	2026-09-01T23:25:57Z (ISO 8601, UTC)
likesCount / commentsCount	107958 / 1778
videoPlayCount	3158146 (reels)
videoDuration	169.625 (seconds)
displayUrl / videoUrl	highest-resolution image and video file
carouselMediaCount / carouselMediaUrls	14 / every slide's URL, separated by | (carousels only)
ownerUsername / ownerFullName / ownerId	therock / Dwayne Johnson / 232192182
coauthorUsernames	projectrock (collab posts)
taggedUsernames	projectrock — accounts tagged in the photo or video, across every carousel slide
locationName / locationId	tagged location
audioTitle / audioArtist	Original audio / therock
isPaidPartnership	false

Every row has exactly the same columns, and list values like hashtags and tagged users are joined into a single cell. The CSV and Excel exports are clean, with no empty or undefined columns.

Who's in a post. Each person is reported in the column matching how they appear:

• a collab co-author goes in coauthorUsernames
• someone tagged in the photo or video goes in taggedUsernames
• someone @mentioned in the caption goes in mentions

One account can appear in all three.

Run report

The key-value store record RUN_REPORT lists, for each profile:

• how many items were scraped
• whether the item limit or date limit was reached
• the profile's full name, follower count and verified badge
• a clear reason for any profile that couldn't be scraped (doesn't exist, or is private)

Good to know

• Public profiles only. A private account, or a handle that doesn't exist, is reported in RUN_REPORT and costs you nothing.
• Collab posts can list the partner account as ownerUsername, when the partner created the post and invited this profile. The profileUsername column always shows which profile you scraped.
• Hidden reels. A reel that the creator removed from their grid still shows on the Reels tab. Instagram gives little detail about those to logged-out visitors, so their caption, author and tag columns are empty, and hasFullDetails is false. Plays, likes, comments, image and posting date are still filled in.
• Play counts, occasionally missing. For a few profiles, Instagram's Reels tab errors on its side. Their posts and reels are still scraped in full, but videoPlayCount is empty, and RUN_REPORT shows the reason under reelsTabError.
• Media URLs expire. Instagram's image and video links stop working after a few days, so download files promptly if you need them.
• Counts are a snapshot taken at scrape time.
• Use a residential proxy. Instagram limits requests by IP address. The default residential proxy setting is strongly recommended for anything beyond a small test.
• Only posts and reels are included. A profile's tagged tab and reposts tab aren't available without logging in, so this Actor doesn't scrape them.

Pricing

Pay per result. You pay for:

• each post or reel written to the dataset
• a small one-time fee for each profile that returns at least one result

A profile that is private, missing, or has nothing in your date range costs nothing. See the Pricing tab for the current rates.
