Instagram Reel Scraper

Get the reels of any public Instagram profile, or single reels by URL: plays, likes, comments, shares, saves, length, caption, hashtags, music, collaborators and video links.

$0.30 per 1,000 reels. Shares and saves are included.

What it's for

• Creator and competitor tracking: plays and engagement of every reel, on a schedule with Only reels newer than set to 1 day.
• Trend and audio research: the sounds, hashtags and formats that get plays in a niche.
• Campaign reports: paid partnerships, sponsors and collaborators come with each reel.
• Data for AI agents and dashboards: clean JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight from the API.

Input

Field	What it does
username	Usernames, profile URLs or reel URLs, one per line

onlyPostsNewerThan	A date like 2026-09-01, or a period like 7 days
skipPinnedPosts	Leave out pinned reels, which stay on top however old they are

Coming from another Instagram scraper? These are the field names of Apify's Instagram Reel Scraper, and so are the output fields (shortCode, videoPlayCount, likesCount, ownerUsername…). Saved inputs, API calls and integrations keep working.

likesCount is null when the author hides likes.

Profiles and URLs that can't be read get a row with the reason, free of charge:

{ "input": "some_private_account", "error": "Private profile" }

FAQ

Does it work with private profiles? No. Only public profiles and reels.

How far back does it go? As far as the profile goes. Raise Reels per profile, or set Only reels newer than to stop at a date.

Why do some old reels come first? They're pinned. Turn on Skip pinned reels to leave them out; the date filter already ignores them.

Does it download the videos or transcribe them? No. videoUrl links to the video file. Instagram's links stop working after about a day, so download what you need soon after the run.

Is it legal? It reads only public profiles and reels. Captions and usernames can be personal data under GDPR and similar laws: use them for a legitimate purpose and honor deletion requests.
