🔑 Login cookie — required for 🔑 modes

Modes marked 🔑 (comments, likes, followers, following, tagged, stories, highlights, hashtag, location, search) read data that Instagram only serves to logged-in users. For these modes a session cookie is mandatory — without it the run returns no data and logs a clear message.

How to get your cookie (1 minute):

1. Install the EditThisCookie v3 Chrome extension.
2. Log into instagram.com in your browser.
3. Click the EditThisCookie icon and export the cookies (the 5th button at the top of the cookie editor — the Export icon). This copies the cookies as JSON to your clipboard.
4. Paste the exported JSON into the 🔑 Instagram login cookie field of this Actor.

The field also accepts just your sessionid value or a full name=value; name=value cookie string, if you prefer. The value is stored encrypted (it's a secret field). Use a secondary/throwaway account — heavy scraping on your main account is not recommended.

🔄 Cookie expiry note: Instagram cookies typically stay valid for a few days to a few weeks. If a run that worked before starts reporting login required / invalid authentication, just re-export fresh cookies from your browser and paste them again.

👤 Profile details, 🖼️ posts, 🎬 reels and 📄 post detail need no cookie at all.

💸 Pricing — pay per result type

This Actor uses pay-per-result billing, and each result type is priced separately, so you only pay for the data you actually pull:

Result type	Event	Typical use
Profile	profile	profile details
Contact	contact	emails / phones / links from bios
Post / Reel	post	posts, reels, hashtag, location, tagged, post detail
Comment	comment	comments
User	user	followers, following, likers
Story	story	stories, highlights
Search result	search-result	search

The price you see is all-in — there are no extra add-on fees on top of the per-result price. Use Max results per input to keep your budget predictable.

• API: pull results programmatically from the Apify dataset API.
• No-code automation: Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airbyte and webhooks.

❓ FAQ

Do I need to log in to Instagram? Only for the 🔑 modes (comments, likes, followers, following, tagged, stories, highlights, hashtag, location, search). Profiles, posts, reels and post detail work without any cookie.

Where do I get the login cookie? Log in to instagram.com, export your cookies with a browser extension (Cookie-Editor / EditThisCookie), and paste the sessionid value, the cookie string, or the JSON export into the Instagram login cookie field. See Login cookie.

Does pagination really work? Yes — posts, reels, comments, followers, following, tagged posts, hashtag and location feeds all page through their cursors until your Max results per input is reached or the source is exhausted.

Can I scrape several accounts/hashtags at once? Yes. Add multiple lines in Instagram URLs or usernames; Max results per input applies to each one.

Can I get private accounts? Only accounts your logged-in cookie is allowed to view.

Which formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, RSS, and the API.

Is scraping Instagram legal? Scraping publicly available data is generally permitted, but you are responsible for how you use the data. Respect Instagram's Terms, applicable laws (incl. GDPR/CCPA) and people's privacy. Do not collect personal data without a lawful basis.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This tool extracts data that is available to the account/session you use. You are solely responsible for complying with Instagram's Terms of Service, copyright and data-protection laws. Use a secondary account for the 🔑 modes.
