# Find coffee videos with 100+ likes on Instagram

**Use case:** 

Beta example: request up to 20 popular #coffee videos/Reels with at least 100 source-reported likes and 1 comment from up to 40 candidates. Return URLs, captions, publication dates, creator usernames and engagement counts. Required-data checks apply. Availability and filtering can leave fewer than 20 results.

## FAQ

### What does the coffee engagement task select?

The coffee engagement task selects up to 20 popular #coffee videos/Reels from 40 candidates with at least 100 source-reported likes and 1 comment, requiring ID, URL, date, username and both counts.

### Are the engagement counts independently verified?

The coffee engagement task uses counts reported by its source. These counts are not independently verified against Instagram, may change, and do not guarantee campaign performance.

### Will the coffee engagement task return exactly 20 videos?

The coffee engagement task can return fewer than 20 records or none when the popular source is unavailable or candidates fail filters or required-data checks. The source is not a latest or complete hashtag feed.

### How much does the coffee engagement task cost?

The coffee engagement task costs $0.01 per start plus $0.001 per output row: $0.03 for 20 rows. Actor platform usage is included. The $0.01 start fee can apply even when a started run fails or returns zero rows.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/zexorama/instagram-popular-video-selector-beta.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
