## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### What does the Engagers Exporter do?

Paste one or more Instagram post/reel URLs and it collects everyone who engaged — the people who **liked** the post, the people who **commented**, and (optionally) the people who **liked the comments**. It merges them into one clean list with no duplicates, so a person who liked *and* commented (or engaged across several posts) appears once, tagged with everything they did. Turn on enrichment and each row gains follower counts, bio and a public business email — a finished prospect list.

### What data does it extract?

One row per unique engager:

| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `username` | Account handle | `growthmarketer_jo` |
| `full_name` | Display name | `Jordan Lee` |
| `engagement_types` | What they did | `["liked","commented"]` |
| `posts_engaged` | How many of your posts they engaged with | `3` |
| `verified` | Blue-check status | `false` |
| `followers` | Follower count | `8400` |
| `profile_url` | Direct profile link | `https://www.instagram.com/growthmarketer_jo/` |

With **enrichment** on, each row also includes `following`, `posts`, `biography`, `external_url`, `category`, `is_business`, `public_email` and `public_phone`.

### Why choose this engagement scraper?

- **Everyone, deduplicated, in one list.** Most tools scrape likers *or* comments from one post. This one unions likers, commenters and comment-likers across all your posts and returns each person once — the actual "who engages with this brand" list.
- **Comment likers no one else exports.** It can pull the people who *liked the comments* on a post — a warm, high-intent audience that other scrapers ignore.
- **Lead-gen filters + enrichment.** Keep only verified accounts, accounts above a follower threshold, or accounts whose bio matches a keyword — then enrich with email for outreach. Filtered-out people are **never billed**.
- **No login, no cookies, no risk.** Your Instagram account is never used, so it can't be rate-limited or banned.

### How to scrape post likers & commenters (step by step)

1. Paste one or more **post or reel URLs**.
2. Choose **All engagers** (likers + commenters + comment likers) or a single type.
3. Set **max engagers per post** and any **filters** (verified, min followers, bio keywords).
4. *(Optional)* Turn on **enrichment** for emails and full profile data.
5. Click **Start**, then download from the **Storage → Dataset** tab as **CSV, Excel, JSON or XML** — or read it via the API.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2aJYrg6cZ/",
    "https://www.instagram.com/reel/CODE2/"
  ],
  "engagement": "all",
  "maxPerPost": 3000,
  "minFollowers": 1000,
  "bioKeywords": ["founder", "marketer"],
  "enrichProfiles": true
}
```

This exports everyone who engaged with the two posts, dedupes them, keeps only accounts with 1,000+ followers whose bio mentions *founder* or *marketer*, and enriches each with email — a targeted B2B lead list.

#### Example output

```json
{
  "username": "growthmarketer_jo",
  "full_name": "Jordan Lee",
  "engagement_types": ["liked", "commented"],
  "posts_engaged": 3,
  "verified": false,
  "followers": 8400,
  "category": "Marketing Agency",
  "is_business": true,
  "public_email": "jordan@growthco.io",
  "profile_url": "https://www.instagram.com/growthmarketer_jo/"
}
```

#### Run it via the Apify API

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR~ACTOR/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"postUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2aJYrg6cZ/"], "engagement": "all"}'
```

Works with the **Apify SDK** (JavaScript & Python), **scheduled runs**, **webhooks**, and integrations for **Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack and LangChain**.

### Pricing — pay only for results

You are billed **per unique engager delivered** to your dataset. Failed posts and filtered-out people cost **nothing**.

| Result type | Price |
|---|---|
| Engager (liker / commenter / comment liker) | **$0.0012 per engager** ($1.20 / 1,000) |
| Enriched engager (full profile + email) | **$0.012 per engager** ($12 / 1,000) |

That basic rate is roughly **57% below the category average** — comparable Instagram engagement/comment Actors charge around **$0.0026–0.003 per result** — so you build bigger, deduplicated leads lists for less.

### What can I use engager data for?

- **Competitor audience lead generation** — export everyone engaging with a competitor's posts, filter to business accounts with emails, and load your outreach tool.
- **Warm-audience outreach** — people who liked *and* commented are your most engaged prospects; the `engagement_types` and `posts_engaged` fields rank them for you.
- **Giveaway & contest winners** — pull all commenters (or likers) on a post to pick and verify winners.
- **Influencer & UGC discovery** — find engaged creators in your niche by filtering engagers by follower size and bio.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Do I need to log in?

No. The Actor uses its own managed data infrastructure — **no login, no cookies, no password**. Your account is never used.

#### Can it scrape both likers and commenters at once?

Yes. Choose **All engagers** and it pulls likers, commenters and comment-likers, then deduplicates them into one list with each person tagged by what they did.

#### What are "comment likers"?

People who liked the *comments* on a post — a warm, high-intent audience most scrapers can't reach. This Actor exports them too.

#### Why did I get fewer likers than expected?

Instagram limits liker visibility on large posts (it exposes only a subset of recent likers). Commenters are not capped this way. This is an Instagram limitation, not the Actor.

#### Does it get email addresses?

With enrichment on, `public_email` is filled for business/creator accounts that expose a public contact email — typically higher in B2B and creator niches.

#### What export formats are supported?

**CSV, Excel (XLSX), JSON, JSONL and XML**, plus direct API access and integrations with Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets.

#### Is this legal?

The Actor collects only **publicly available** data. You are responsible for using it in compliance with the laws that apply to you (including **GDPR** and **CCPA**) and Instagram's terms. Don't use exports for spam.
