🎬 Instagram Reel Scraper

🚀 Pull Instagram Reels from any public profile in minutes. Video URLs, views, likes, comments, captions, music, duration, thumbnails. No login.

Pull live Instagram Reels from any public profile. The actor accepts a list of usernames, profile URLs, or direct Reel URLs and walks each profile's Reels feed to return one structured record per Reel ready for content research, social listening, brand monitoring, or creator-marketing analysis.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of Instagram at run time. Records include the Reel URL, video URL, thumbnail, view count, like count, comment count, caption, music track, duration, posted date, and optional top comments.

📋 What the Instagram Reel Scraper does

• 🎬 Three input types. Username (natgeo), profile URL, or direct Reel URL.
• 🗓️ Date filter. newerThan cutoff (absolute date or relative like 30 days).
• 📌 Skip pinned. Optional flag to skip pinned (often older) Reels.
• 💬 Optional comments. Fetch top N comments per Reel.
• 🎵 Music data. Track name and artist where exposed.
• 📊 Engagement. Views, likes, comments, duration.

The scraper walks each profile's Reels feed in parallel, fetches each Reel's metadata, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

💡 Why it matters: Reels are Instagram's highest-engagement format but its UI is paginated, JS-rendered, and lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual scraping for creator-marketing intel, brand monitoring, and content research.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: audioType, caption, commentCount, duration, hashtags, height, isBrandedContent, likeCount, mentions, musicArtist, musicId, musicTitle, position, reelUrl, scrapedAt, shortcode, thumbnailUrl, timestamp, username, videoUrl, viewCount, width. All 22 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
