Instagram Scraper

Instagram Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Instagram data.

Instagram hides its data behind a login wall to stop you from getting it. Instagram Scraper beats it — no account, no login, no cookies — and reads Instagram live on every run, so you get posts and reels from any user, hashtag, keyword, place or link, and can successfully complete your project.

$1 per 1,000 posts. And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first ~5,000 posts each month are free.

This is an excellent Actor made by Omkar Cloud, which is Rated Excellent — 4.7 based on 30 reviews on Trustpilot.

👉 Try Instagram Scraper free — your first ~5,000 posts are Free.

What can I get

• 📸 Posts & reels of any public account — the profile grid or the Reels tab, newest first
• 📊 Every stat that matters — likes, comments and play counts on every reel
• 🎥 Direct media links — HD images, every carousel slide and MP4 video links with duration
• 🎵 Audio, tags & places — the song or original sound, tagged accounts, coauthors and location
• 🔥 Hashtags, keywords & locations — the top reels for any hashtag or keyword, top or recent posts at any place

Why Instagram Scraper

Most other Instagram scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

• 🧩 Low-detail data — a few fields per row, never the full picture
• 🗄️ Inaccurate, cached, stale data — yesterday's numbers are useless
• 💸 Pay more to get the same data — $2.70 per 1,000 posts elsewhere
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

Instagram Scraper reads Instagram live, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.

FAQ

What can I put in the input?

Any mix of Usernames (taylorswift, @natgeo, a user ID or a profile link), Post Links (any post, reel or share link, or a shortcode), Hashtags (newyork), Search Keywords (silicon valley) and Locations (212988663 or a location link). Pick Posts or Reels for usernames and Top or Recent for locations.

How many posts can I get per source?

Up to Max Posts per Source (1,000 max) for usernames, hashtags and keywords — the Actor pages through them 12 at a time. A location returns one page of its top or recent posts (about 12-30), which is all Instagram shows logged-out visitors.

Do I get play counts?

Yes, for reels from usernames, hashtags and keywords. Instagram does not show a play count on a single post page, so rows from Post Links carry likes and comments but play_count: null.

What does it cost?

$0.001 per post — $1 per 1,000 — flat on every plan, with no start fee. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is about 5,000 posts free every month.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram?

The Actor collects only the public data Instagram shows any logged-out visitor — no login, no private accounts. Please review Instagram's terms of use and make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction, including data-protection law.

I need profiles or comments, not posts.

Use Instagram Profile Scraper for bio, followers and post count ($1 per 1,000 profiles), or Instagram Comments Scraper for comments ($0.50 per 1,000 comments).
