Instagram & TikTok Scraper

Scrape public profile data and recent posts from Instagram and TikTok by username. This is the fastest way to pull follower counts, engagement metrics, bio info, contact details, and recent content data from both platforms in a single actor.

What does Instagram & TikTok Scraper do?

This actor takes a username and a platform choice, then returns the full public profile along with recent posts or videos.

Instagram mode pulls the complete public profile -- username, full name, bio, follower and following counts, post count, verified and business account flags, profile picture, external URL, business category, and contact info (phone and email when available). It also grabs recent posts with likes, comments, timestamps, media URLs, thumbnails, post type (image, video, carousel), video views, and direct post links.

TikTok mode does the same for TikTok profiles -- username, display name, bio, followers, following, total likes received, video count, verified status, avatar, and the link in bio. Recent videos come with full engagement data: likes, comments, shares, views, duration, upload time, thumbnail, music/sound info, hashtags used, and direct video URLs.

Both platforms return structured, clean data ready for analysis or export. No login required -- it works with publicly accessible profiles only.

Common questions

Can I scrape private accounts? No. This actor only works with publicly accessible profiles. Private accounts will return an error indicating the profile is not accessible.

Does it return all posts or just recent ones? It returns recent posts/videos attached to the profile. For full historical post data, you would need multiple runs or a custom solution -- reach out if that's what you need.

How often can I scrape the same profile? As often as you want. Each run pulls live data, so you can track follower growth or engagement changes over time by scheduling regular runs.
