Videos

Reel / post URLs

reelUrls

Optional

Instagram reel or video post URLs (https://www.instagram.com/reel/CODE/ or /p/CODE/), or bare shortcodes. One row per video. Photo and carousel posts are skipped (nothing to transcribe). Works alongside usernames.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Usernames

usernames

Optional

Public Instagram usernames or profile URLs (natgeo, @nasa, https://www.instagram.com/nasa/). The newest videos/reels of each profile are taken, up to maxReelsPerUser. Private accounts return nothing.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Max reels per username

maxReelsPerUser

Optional

How many of the newest videos to take from each username. The profile feed mixes photos and videos (about 1 in 3 posts is a video on a typical brand account), so the actor pages until it has this many videos.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5000

Default:10

Only reels posted after

postedAfter

Optional

Optional date (YYYY-MM-DD). Username mode stops paging once it reaches older posts; URL mode drops older reels. Pinned posts are handled correctly.

Type:string

Max reels in total

maxItems

Optional

Hard cap on rows across all URLs and usernames — your cost ceiling for the run. Each row is one reel.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Default:50

Transcribe the spoken audio

transcribe

Optional

ON: download the audio and transcribe it with faster-whisper on this actor's own compute (no external API, no key). OFF: metadata-only rows — caption, counts, owner, music, media URLs — at the row price alone.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Speech model

model

Optional

faster-whisper model (int8, baked into the image so nothing downloads at run time). base is the accuracy/cost meta for clear narration; small is noticeably better on accents, noisy audio and non-English speech at roughly 3x the compute time; tiny is the fastest and rougher.

Type:string

Default:base

Options:

tinybasesmall

Spoken language

language

Optional

ISO-639-1 code (en, es, pt, de, fr, hi, ...) to force the language, or auto to detect it per reel. Forcing the language helps on short reels where detection has little to go on.

Type:string

Default:auto

Extra transcript formats

transcriptFormats

Optional

Plain text (transcript) and the 3-second spoken hook are always included. Add timestamped segments, SRT or VTT subtitles if you need alignment.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Max audio minutes per video

maxAudioMinutesPerReel

Optional

Reels are at most 3 minutes, but a profile's feed can carry long videos. Audio beyond this many minutes is not transcribed (and not billed). 1-60.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:60

Default:5

Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Proxy for the Instagram page/API requests. Apify datacenter is the default and measured clean (16/16 embed pages, 15/15 feed pages); a blocked datacenter request gets one capped retry through RESIDENTIAL automatically. Media bytes are always fetched without a proxy.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
}

Delay between Instagram requests (ms)

requestDelayMs

Optional

Pause between consecutive Instagram page/API requests. Default 500 ms keeps a run well inside Instagram's public rate limits.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:10000

Default:500
