## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

### How to scrape Instagram posts {#how-to}
1. **Open the Instagram Post Scraper** on [Apify](https://apify.com/myagizm/instagram-post-scraper-v2).
2. **Add usernames** to *Instagram usernames*, or paste specific post URLs into *Post / reel URLs*.
3. *(Optional)* Set **Max posts per profile**, a **date cut-off**, **skip pinned posts**, or **only reels**.
4. Click **▶ Start**, then **export** to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.
No login, no cookies, no proxy configuration. Start with one input to see the output shape, then scale the same run — the fields stay identical, so code written against a test run keeps working.
---
### Input example {#input-example}
```json
{
"usernames": [
"natgeo",
"nasa"
],
"resultsLimit": 100,
"onlyPostsNewerThan": "2026-01-01",
"skipPinnedPosts": true,
"onlyReels": false
}
````
- **usernames** — profiles whose grid you want to scrape.
- **startUrls** — specific post or reel URLs, if you prefer targeting individual posts.
- **resultsLimit** — cap on posts per profile.
- **onlyPostsNewerThan** — ISO date cut-off; older posts are skipped.

### How much will it cost? {#pricing}
Simple, predictable **pay-per-result** pricing — you pay for the posts you actually receive, not for compute time.
- 💸 **Pay per post** — budget is just posts × rate, so you can estimate spend up front.
- 📉 **Volume discounts** — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Apify plans get progressively lower rates.
- 🆓 **Free to try** — new Apify accounts include monthly free usage, so your first run costs nothing.
- 🚫 **No hidden fees** — no proxy add-on, no per-request API charge, no minimum spend.
See the live rate on the [Apify store page](https://apify.com/myagizm/instagram-post-scraper-v2).
***
### Tips {#tips}
- 📌 **Turn on `skipPinnedPosts`** for time-series analysis — pinned posts are old but appear first.
- 🗓️ **Use the date cut-off for monitoring runs** instead of a big limit; it is cheaper and faster.
- 🎬 **Download `videoUrl` immediately** — Instagram CDN links are signed and expire.
- 🧮 **Compute engagement rate** by pairing this with the [Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/myagizm/instagram-profile-scraper-v2) for follower counts.
- \#️⃣ **Mine `hashtags` across posts** to reverse-engineer a competitor's hashtag strategy.
- ❤️ **Expect `likes` to be `null`** on accounts that hide like counts — that is Instagram's setting, not a gap.

### Use the data with AI agents (MCP) {#mcp}
The Instagram Post Scraper is available through the **Apify MCP server**, so AI assistants can call it as a tool and pull Instagram posts on demand.
- 🧩 **Claude** — add the Apify MCP server and let Claude fetch and analyse the data.
- 🤖 **ChatGPT** — use the actor as a tool inside research and reporting workflows.
- 🖊️ **Cursor** — pull structured results straight into your coding sessions.
Common AI-agent recipes:
- 📊 **Content audit** — "review this profile's last 100 posts and tell me which formats perform best."
- 🏷️ **Hashtag strategy** — "list the hashtags this brand uses most and their average engagement."
- 😀 **Sentiment & topics** — "classify these captions by theme."
- 🖼️ **Creative inventory** — "list every video post with duration and plays."
***
### Integrations & API {#integrations}
Connect the actor to the tools you already use: **Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack, Airbyte, Gumloop, CrewAI, IFTTT, Lindy, GitHub, Google Sheets, and Google Drive** — plus webhooks, Apify Schedules, and the MCP server.
#### Run synchronously and get the dataset (Apify API)
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/myagizm~instagram-post-scraper-v2/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"usernames": ["natgeo", "nasa"], "resultsLimit": 100, "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2026-01-01", "skipPinnedPosts": true, "onlyReels": false}'
```
#### Start a run asynchronously
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/myagizm~instagram-post-scraper-v2/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"usernames": ["natgeo", "nasa"], "resultsLimit": 100, "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2026-01-01", "skipPinnedPosts": true, "onlyReels": false}'
```
#### Fetch dataset items later
```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/myagizm~instagram-post-scraper-v2/runs/last/dataset/items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&format=csv"
```
Change `format` to `json`, `csv`, `xlsx`, or `xml` to export in your preferred format. The Apify Console also auto-generates ready-to-paste **JavaScript, Python, and CLI** snippets plus an **OpenAPI** spec for this actor.

### Support {#support}
Questions, feature requests, or something not looking right? Open an issue on the actor's **[Issues tab](https://apify.com/myagizm/instagram-post-scraper-v2/issues)**. Please include the input you used so we can reproduce and fix it quickly.
***
### FAQ {#faq}
#### Can I scrape a single post by URL?
Yes. Paste post or reel URLs into *Post / reel URLs* instead of (or alongside) usernames.
#### Why is `likes` sometimes null?
Instagram lets accounts hide like counts. When hidden, the field is `null` rather than a wrong number.
#### Can I get the comments too?
Use the [Instagram Comment Scraper](https://apify.com/myagizm/instagram-comment-scraper-v2). This actor returns the comment *count* so you are not billed for comment rows you did not request.
#### How far back can I go?
The actor pages through the public grid; use **Max posts** and the date cut-off to control depth.
#### Do I need an Instagram account, login, cookies, or API key?
No. There is no login, no cookies, no Instagram Graph API app, no app review, and no access token. Paste your input and run.
#### Is it legal to scrape Instagram?
The actor collects only publicly available data — the same content any visitor can see without logging in. It never logs in and never accesses private accounts. You are responsible for compliant use: if the data contains personal data, follow GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable regulations, and respect Instagram's terms.
#### Can I scrape private accounts?
No. Private accounts are reported in the run log and skipped. The actor never bypasses access controls.
#### Do I need proxies?
No. Proxy handling is built in and managed for you — nothing to configure or supply.
#### Can I export the results to CSV, Excel, or JSON?
Yes. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Console, or use the API `format` parameter.
#### Can I use it with the Apify API?
Yes — the sync and async endpoints are shown above.
#### Is there an MCP server for AI agents?
Yes. The actor is exposed through the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can call it as a tool.
#### Can I schedule runs?
Yes. Use Apify Schedules or trigger runs via API and webhooks to keep the data fresh.
#### How fresh is the data?
There is no caching. Every run reads the current public page, so numbers are live at run time.
#### Media URLs stopped working after a while — why?
Instagram signs its CDN links and they expire. Download or re-host media in the same session you scrape it.

const input = {
"usernames": [
"nasa"
],
"startUrls": [],
"resultsLimit": 30,

};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("myagizm/instagram-post-scraper-v2").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
