Tips

Use residential proxies — Instagram aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. The default configuration uses Apify residential proxies.
Login walls — Instagram may show login prompts for some content. The scraper extracts as much as possible from public meta tags and structured data.
Rate limiting — Keep maxPostsPerProfile reasonable to avoid triggering blocks. Start with 12 and increase gradually.

Cost Estimation

The actor uses Playwright with Chromium, so it consumes more compute than simple HTTP scrapers. Rough estimate: ~$0.25–0.50 per 100 results depending on proxy usage.
