Instagram Post Scraper

Keep Instagram posts in a dated, source-linked content file. Review captions, authors, media, hashtags, mentions, comments, and engagement across a saved URL list.

The record

The dataset schema names every field before the run. The first working set is shortcode, url, owner, caption, mediaType, mediaId, imageUrl, sourceUrl, route, scrapedAt, ownerVerified, and ownerFollowers. Dataset views keep related fields together without changing the underlying row.

Captured row

{
  "mediaId": "3660778310592222546",
  "mediaType": "image",
  "ownerVerified": true
}

$0.00001 per dataset item. Other Apify plans use the rates shown in the Pricing tab.
