Instagram Reels Scraper
Scrape all Reels of any public Instagram profile: plays, likes, comments, posting time, duration, the MP4 video URL, cover, audio (song or original sound), hashtags, mentions, collaborators and tagged accounts, plus the profile's follower count and an engagement rate for every Reel.
No Instagram login, no cookies, no browser. Give usernames, profile links or user IDs; get one row per Reel. Use it as an Instagram Reels scraper API for competitor analysis, influencer vetting, content research, a Reels analytics sheet, or to download all Reels of an Instagram profile (each row has the MP4 link).

Monitor profiles for new Reels
Save your input as a task, schedule it every hour or day and turn on Only new Reels since the previous run: each run returns only the Reels posted since the last one (the first run returns everything and remembers it). A run with nothing new stops after one request and costs almost nothing. Send new rows to Google Sheets, Slack, email or a webhook with an Apify integration.
Pricing
Pay per result, no subscription:
| Event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Reel | $0.58 per 1,000 ($0.52 on Scale, $0.44 on Business) | each Reel in the results |
| New profile lookup | $0.004 | rare: a profile with embedding turned off that nobody looked up in the last 3 days, when Instagram shows its page only to a residential IP; other profiles are free |
| Run start | $0.001 |
Examples: the last 30 Reels of one profile = $0.02; 100 Reels of each of 10 competitors = $0.58; a daily only-new check of 20 profiles posting one Reel a day ≈ $0.38 a month.
FAQ
Do I need an Instagram account? No. The Actor reads the public Reels tab the way a logged-out visitor sees it.
Private accounts? Not supported: their Reels are not public. The run log lists them.
Why does a profile show Reels posted by other accounts? Those are collaborations: Instagram shows them on both profiles. isCollab is true and ownerUsername is the author; filter them out if you need only the profile's own Reels.
Photos and carousels? This Actor reads the Reels tab, where every item is a video.
How many Reels can I get? The whole Reels tab: 12 Reels per request, so 1,000 Reels take about 84 requests and a minute or two.
Can I download the videos? Each row has videoUrl, the MP4 file. Instagram's links expire after a few days, so download them soon after the run.
Use with the API and AI agents
Run it from your code or an AI agent with the Apify API, the Apify MCP server or the Python and JavaScript clients; read the results from the dataset (?view=reels for the main table).
