What does it do?

Give it post or reel URLs, or usernames. For a username it reads the public profile page and takes the newest posts it lists (12 per profile when we checked on 2026-10-22; older posts are not reached). For each post it saves one row. It does not read comments, followers or private accounts.

Why use it?

What Instagram shows publicly, as rows: post author, caption, like and comment counts, image and timestamp.

How to use it

Put post or reel URLs in directUrls, public usernames in usernames, or both.
Set maxItems to cap the number of posts saved.
Run the Actor and download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or NDJSON from the dataset.

Input

Field	Type	Description
`directUrls`	array	Instagram post or reel URLs, e.g. `https://www.instagram.com/p/Ddwoj5kBk9X/`.
`usernames`	array	Public usernames; the newest posts on each profile page are saved.
`maxItems`	integer	Maximum number of posts to save in the run.
`proxyConfiguration`	object	Apify proxy settings; Unblocker is the default.

Sample Input

{
    "usernames": ["natgeo"],
    "maxItems": 2
}

Output

One row per post:

Field	Type	Description
`id`	string	Post shortcode.
`url`	string	Post URL.
`caption`	string / null	Full caption text.
`likesCount`	integer / null	Likes, as Instagram rounds it (e.g. 53K is `53000`).
`commentsCount`	integer / null	Comments, rounded the same way.
`imageUrl`	string / null	Preview image link (Instagram CDN links expire).
`author`	string / null	Account display name, e.g. `National Geographic`.
`timestamp`	string / null	Post date as Instagram writes it, e.g. `October 15, 2026`.
`scrapedAt`	string	ISO timestamp of when the row was read.

Sample Output

A row from a run on 2026-10-22, image link shortened:

{
    "id": "DehZj9wggt0",
    "url": "https://www.instagram.com/p/DehZj9wggt0/",
    "caption": "Keeping up with a pack of hunting wolves is just another day at the office for @bertiegregory and his team.\n\n#WolvesUpClose with Bertie Gregory premieres Friday, November 6 at 8/7c on National Geographic. Streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.",
    "likesCount": 53000,
    "commentsCount": 397,
    "imageUrl": "https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/849098148_18708313780019133_730867734770692515_n.jpg?stp=cmp1_dst-jpg_e35_s640x640_tt6&...",
    "author": "National Geographic",

    "scrapedAt": "2026-10-22T01:40:02.766252+00:00"
}
