Extract a public Instagram profile + its most-recent posts from a username —
no login and no account required. The Actor calls Instagram's logged-out
web_profile_info endpoint, which returns public profile data plus the ~12
latest posts to anyone.
What you get
For each run (one username):
- Profile:
username,full_name,biography,bio_links,external_url,follower_count,following_count,post_count,is_verified,is_private,is_business_account,category,profile_pic_url_hd recent_media— the latest posts (up to 12), each with:shortcode,post_url,display_url(the photo),thumbnail_src,is_video,video_url,taken_at_timestamp,like_count,comment_count,caption
Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
username | string | yes | Public Instagram handle, with or without @. |
maxPosts | integer | no | How many recent posts to include (1–12, default 12). |
proxyConfiguration | object | no | Apify proxy. RESIDENTIAL recommended under volume. |
Example input
Output (one dataset item)
Notes
- Works only for public profiles. Private profiles return profile metadata but no posts.
- The primary path is a plain HTTP request (no browser). A real-Chrome fallback (via the bundled Xvfb base image) kicks in only if the direct request is blocked.
- If Instagram blocks the anonymous request, the run fails with a message suggesting a RESIDENTIAL proxy rather than silently returning nothing.
