Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Instagram Scraper β€” All-in-One πŸ₯‡ **The only Instagram scraper you need.** Extract Instagram **profiles, posts, reels, comments, likes, followers, following, tagged posts, stories, highlights, hashtags, locations and search results** β€” from a single Actor, with one simple input.

The four modes without the key work straight away. --- ### πŸš€ How to use (3 steps) 1. **Pick a mode** in *🎯 What do you want to scrape?* 2. **Paste your input** in *πŸ”— Instagram URLs or usernames* (or a query in *πŸ”Ž Search*). 3. Click **Save & Start**. Watch results stream into the dataset, then **Export** as JSON/CSV/Excel. That's it. Set *Max results per input* to control how much you collect. --- ### πŸ”‘ Login cookie β€” required for πŸ”‘ modes Modes marked πŸ”‘ (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** β€” 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](https://www.instagram.com)** in your browser. 3. Click the **EditThisCookie** icon and **export** the cookies (the **5th button** at the top of the cookie editor β€” the *Export* icon). This copies the cookies as JSON to your clipboard. 4. **Paste** the exported JSON into the **πŸ”‘ 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 β€” heavy scraping on your main account is not recommended. **πŸ”„ 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. > πŸ‘€ Profile details, πŸ–ΌοΈ posts, 🎬 reels and πŸ“„ post detail need **no cookie at all**. --- ### πŸ“₯ Input examples #### Scrape a profile's posts (no login) ```json { "scrapeType": "posts", "directUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/nasa/"], "resultsLimit": 200 } ```` #### Extract emails & phones from bios β€” lead-gen (no login) ```json { "scrapeType": "contacts", "directUrls": ["@somebrand", "https://www.instagram.com/anotherbrand/"], "resultsLimit": 1 } ``` #### A single post / reel with tagged users & top comments (no login) ```json { "scrapeType": "post", "directUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/p/DZz4bjIjhdm/"] } ``` #### Comments of a post (πŸ”‘ login) ```json { "scrapeType": "comments", "directUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/p/DZz4bjIjhdm/"], "resultsLimit": 500, "sessionCookie": "PASTE_YOUR_SESSIONID_OR_COOKIES_HERE" } ``` #### Followers of an account (πŸ”‘ login) ```json { "scrapeType": "followers", "directUrls": ["@nasa"], "resultsLimit": 1000, "sessionCookie": "PASTE_YOUR_COOKIES_HERE" } ``` #### Hashtag posts (πŸ”‘ login) ```json { "scrapeType": "hashtag", "directUrls": ["#nature"], "resultsLimit": 300, "sessionCookie": "PASTE_YOUR_COOKIES_HERE" } ``` #### Search users / hashtags / places (πŸ”‘ login) ```json { "scrapeType": "search", "search": "nasa", "searchType": "all", "sessionCookie": "PASTE_YOUR_COOKIES_HERE" } ``` *** ### πŸ“€ Output examples Every record is **flat** and carries a `type` field so you can split or price results by type. #### πŸ‘€ Profile (`type: "profile"`) ```json { "type": "profile", "id": "528817151", "username": "nasa", "fullName": "NASA", "biography": "Exploring the universe and our home planet.", "externalUrl": "https://www.nasa.gov", "bioLinks": ["https://www.nasa.gov"], "followersCount": 104409417, "followsCount": 78, "postsCount": 4828, "isVerified": true, "isPrivate": false, "isBusinessAccount": true, "category": "Government organization", "profilePicUrl": "https://instagram.f...jpg", "url": "https://www.instagram.com/nasa/" } ``` #### πŸ–ΌοΈ Post / Reel (`type: "post"`) ```json { "type": "post", "id": "3923727884124821350", "shortCode": "DZz4bjIjhdm", "url": "https://www.instagram.com/p/DZz4bjIjhdm/", "mediaType": "carousel", "isVideo": false, "caption": "The official FIFA World Cup ball went to space πŸ›°οΈβš½οΈ", "hashtags": ["space", "fifa"], "mentions": ["fifa"], "commentsCount": 3287, "likesCount": 917834, "videoViewCount": null, "timestamp": 1782490000, "ownerUsername": "nasa", "ownerId": "528817151", "displayUrl": "https://instagram.f...jpg", "images": ["https://...1.jpg", "https://...2.jpg"], "taggedUsers": ["fifa"] } ``` #### βœ‰οΈ Contact (`type: "contact"`) ```json { "type": "contact", "username": "somebrand", "fullName": "Some Brand", "email": "hello@somebrand.com", "emails": ["hello@somebrand.com", "press@somebrand.com"], "phone": "+1 555 123 4567", "phones": ["+1 555 123 4567"], "website": "https://somebrand.com", "links": ["https://linktr.ee/somebrand", "https://somebrand.com"], "bioMentions": ["somebrand_shop"], "isBusinessAccount": true, "businessCategory": "Retail", "addressCity": "New York", "followersCount": 51234, "isVerified": false, "url": "https://www.instagram.com/somebrand/" } ``` #### πŸ’¬ Comment (`type: "comment"`) ```json { "type": "comment", "id": "17900000000000000", "postShortCode": "DZz4bjIjhdm", "text": "This is amazing!

See [Login cookie](#-login-cookie--required-for-πŸ”‘-modes). **Does pagination really work?** Yes β€” 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.
