Instagram Post Details Scraper

Instagram Post Details Scraper

Scrape Instagram post / reel / tv details from public URLs (bulk supported).

Key features

• Bulk input: urls + optional keyword (shortcodes)
• Robust extraction: uses embedded data-sjs payloads (same strategy as your provided code)
• Owner enrichment: uses web_profile_info API to fill owner follower/following/post counts when available
• Smart proxy fallback (with clear logs):
  • Start with NO proxy (direct to Instagram)
  • If blocked/rejected → fallback to DATACENTER
  • If blocked/rejected again → fallback to RESIDENTIAL
  • If residential fails → retries 3 times with residential
  • Once residential is used → stays on residential for the rest of the run
• Live saving: each result is pushed to the dataset immediately
• Final OUTPUT: stored as a URL → postDetails JSON mapping (same shape as output.json)

Input example

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-mIJWgUAU/",
    "https://www.instagram.com/reel/CgzOZz5DWaQ/",
    "https://www.instagram.com/tv/CgzOZz5DWaQ/"
  ],
  "keyword": [
    "Bq-mIJWgUAU"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "requestDelaySeconds": 1,
  "maxRetries": 3
}

Output

• Dataset: one row per URL (includes url + extracted fields)
• Key-Value Store: OUTPUT is a JSON object:
  • keys: input URL
  • values: extracted post details (or null on failure)

Notes / Cautions

• This actor is intended for publicly available data only.
• Instagram may block requests; the actor automatically switches proxies according to the rules above.
