Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README > **Affiliate disclosure:** Apify links on this page may include referral parameters.

**Problem:** LLM agents asked "how many followers does @tesla have on Instagram?" cannot trust stale training data. - **How Instagram Profile solves it:** call the Actor over the [Apify MCP Server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp?fpr=aiagentapi) and surface grounded, up-to-date profile data. - **Outcome:** accurate, source-cited Instagram account data in production AI assistants. *** ### 💰 Pricing, limits, and performance | Fact | Value | | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | Pricing model | Pay-per-result (event: `result`) | | Per-profile price | **$0.0025 per profile = $2.50 per 1,000** | | Free-tier monthly allowance | $5 Apify credits ≈ **~2,000 free profiles / month** | | Max profiles per run | **1,000** | | Output fields per profile | **33** | | Login / cookies required | **No** — works without an Instagram account | | Export formats | JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, dataset API | *** ### ⚖️ Compared with alternatives | Capability | **Instagram Profile** | Instagram Basic Display API | Custom scraper | | -------------------------------------------- | :-------------------: | :-------------------------: | :------------------: | | Bulk profile lookup (up to 1,000 per run) | ✅ | own account only | you build & maintain | | 33 fields incl. email, phone, bio, followers | ✅ | limited | you build & maintain | | Business category & contact info | ✅ | ❌ | you build & maintain | | No login or API approval required | ✅ | requires app review | you build & maintain | | Pay-per-result pricing | **$0.0025 / profile** | N/A | infra + dev cost | | Export to CSV / JSON | ✅ | limited | you implement | | Setup time to first result | **< 60 seconds** | days (app approval) | days–weeks | **Verdict.** Instagram's official APIs are limited to the authenticated user's own data and require app review. Instagram Profile delivers structured public account data for any list of handles with no approval required. *** ### ⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid 1. **Passing more than 1,000 usernames per run.** The Actor validates input size — split large lists across multiple runs. 2. **Expecting email and phone on every profile.** These fields are only visible on business accounts that have chosen to display contact info. 3. **Passing private account usernames.** The Actor can only read publicly visible profile data — private accounts return limited fields and `is_private: true`. 4. **Submitting the same handle multiple times.** Deduplication is not automatic — remove duplicates from your list before running. 5. **Treating `profile_url` as canonical.** Instagram handles can change — always store `user_id` as the stable identifier. *** ### 🛠️ Troubleshooting | Problem | Likely cause | Fix | | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `status: not found` returned | Username does not exist or was misspelled. | Verify the username on Instagram directly. | | `email` / `phone` fields are null | Account is personal, not a business account. | Expected — contact fields are only available on business accounts. | | `is_private: true`, limited data | Account is set to private. | Private accounts return minimal data — only public metadata is available. | | Input validation error | `instagram_url` was not passed as a JSON array. | Ensure input is a JSON array of strings: `["username1", "username2"]`. | | `Charge limit reached` | Account-level monthly spend limit hit. | Raise the run / monthly limit in your Apify plan settings. | *** ### ❓ FAQ #### What data does Instagram Profile return?
