🛰️ Instagram Video Scraper — Apify Actor 🚀 Production-ready Apify Actor for reliably extracting metadata and media URLs from public Instagram video posts (posts & reels). Built for enterprise usage on Apify Platform , optional IG credentials, per-item sessionized handling, and human-friendly output formatting. --- # 🧭 Actor Overview * 🧩 Name: Instagram Video Scraper * 🧰 Version: 0.1 * ⚙️ Purpose: Scrape metadata and media resources from Instagram video URLs (both /p/ posts and /reel/ URLs) without requiring browser cookies by using instaloader and realistic request headers. * ☁️ Platform: Designed to run as an Apify Actor (Node-style runtime wrapper using apify Python SDK). * 🔐 Auth: Optional IG_USER / IG_PASS environment variables supported for authenticated access (helps with private/age-gated content where credentials are permitted). * 🧭 Proxy: Full Apify proxy / custom proxy support. Actor will create per-item session proxy URLs to enable sticky IPs. --- # ⚙️ What This Actor Does * 🛰️ Accepts one or more Instagram video URLs (post or reel). * 📡 Uses instaloader to fetch the canonical post node (metadata + available media resources). * 🧾 Parses and normalizes fields such as owner info, counts, description, hashtags, mentions, upload date, formats (image/video resources), and more. * 🔍 Detects proxy type (best-effort) — residential, datacenter, or unknown — when a proxy URL is available. * 💾 Pushes each scraped item to the actor dataset (one JSON per item) and writes the full result array to key-value store under OUTPUT. * 🧪 Formats numeric counts to human-readable short forms (1.3k, 2m) and durations to mm:ss or hh:mm:ss strings. * 🧵 Runs each item sequentially by default (safe, reduces rate limit pressure). Can be adapted for parallel runs by modifying the actor code. --- # 🛠️ Key Features * 🔗 Universal URL support — accepts both /p/ (posts) and /reel/ paths; robust shortcode extraction. * 🧷 Optional authentication — set IG_USER and IG_PASS via environment variables for logged-in requests. * 🧭 Proxy-aware — integrates with Apify proxy or custom proxy configuration; creates sessionized proxy URLs per shortcode. * 📦 Human-friendly output — humanized counts (k, m) and durations for easier downstream consumption. * 🗄️ Dual output options — item-by-item dataset entries + a single key-value OUTPUT array JSON file for convenience. * ⚠️ Graceful error handling — per-item error capture so one failure does not stop the whole run. * 🔎 Caption parsing — extracts unique hashtags and mentions from captions. * 🧾 Comprehensive formats list — includes all display_resources and video URLs found in Graph node, with deduplication. --- # 🔬 How the Actor Works (Step-by-step flow) 1. 🟢 Start & Input Read — Actor starts and reads startUrls and optional proxyConfiguration from actor input. 2. 🧭 Normalize URLs — Supports list of { "url": "..." } objects or raw string list; normalizes to canonical URL list. 3. 🪝 Proxy Configuration — Creates Apify ProxyConfiguration object from input (or platform default) and attempts to acquire a sessionized proxy URL per shortcode. 4. 🔎 Shortcode Extraction — Extracts Instagram shortcode from each URL using robust path parsing. 5. 🧵 Per-item Proxy Detection — If proxy URL is obtained, attempts to detect whether it’s datacenter, residential, or unknown (best-effort via IP info lookup). 6. 🧪 Scrape with Instaloader — Calls a blocking instaloader routine in a background thread to fetch the post node and metadata. Uses IG_USER/IG_PASS if provided. 7. 🧾 Normalize & Format — Builds result object including formats array, extracts hashtags/mentions, formats counts and durations, and populates metadata fields. 8. 💾 Push & Store — Pushes each item to the actor dataset and, after finishing the run, writes the full array to key-value store under the key OUTPUT. 9. ⚠️ Error Handling — For any item-level exception, records "original_url": <url>, "error": <message> in results and continues processing remaining URLs. --- # 🧾 Input Parameters | 🔎 Field | 🔤 Type | ✅ Required | ✍️ Description | | ----------------------- | -------: | :--------: | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 🟢 startUrls | array | Yes | List of Instagram video URLs to scrape. Accepts ["https://..."] or [{"url":"https://..."}]. | | 🟡 proxyConfiguration | object | No | Apify proxy / custom proxy configuration (editor: proxy). If omitted, actor will attempt to create a default proxy configuration (Apify Proxy if available). Example: {"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}. | > 📌 Note: startUrls is required. Provide the full Instagram URL (including /reel/ or /p/ path). The actor prefill examples include both a reel and a post. --- # 🗂️ Environment Variables | 🔐 Name | 🔤 Type | ✍️ Purpose | | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 🟣 IG_USER | string | Optional Instagram username for authenticated requests. Set if you need to access content behind login. | | 🟣 IG_PASS | string | Optional Instagram password. Use together with IG_USER. | | 🌐 HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, http_proxy, https_proxy | string | Internally set per-item when using proxies. You can also set them globally beforehand to force a proxy. | --- * 🗂️ Dataset: Each item is pushed to the Apify dataset (one JSON object per post). * 🧾 Key-Value Store: The entire results array is saved under the OUTPUT key in key-value store for easy download. --- # 🧪 Usage Examples ## 🖥️ Example: Minimal Input (via Apify Console) json { "startUrls": [ { "url":

shown above. ## 🧾 Example: Accessing results * ▶️ After run completes, view dataset in Apify Console or download OUTPUT (key-value store). * 📥 Use Apify API to programmatically download the OUTPUT file. --- # ⚖️ Performance & Limits * 🧯 Sequential processing: The current implementation processes URLs one-by-one to avoid triggering Instagram rate limits. This is safe for reliability but slower for large batches. * ⚡ Parallelization: For higher throughput, you can modify the actor to run scrape_reel_with_optional_proxy concurrently, but you must add rate-limiting, proxy/session handling, and backoff logic. * 🌐 Proxy impact: Using sessionized proxies (Apify Proxy with session_id=shortcode) helps avoid block detection but may require RESIDENTIAL proxies for some geolocation-limited content. * ⏱️ Time per item: Typical runtime depends on network, proxy latency, and whether authentication is used — expect several seconds to tens of seconds per item. * 🧮 Limits: Instagram imposes rate limits and content access restrictions. Frequent large-scale scraping may cause temporary IP bans or require authenticated sessions. --- # 🚨 Error Handling & Edge Cases * ❗ Invalid URL / Shortcode parse failure: Actor logs error and stores {"original_url": "...", "error": "Can't parse shortcode..."} for that item. Continues with remaining URLs. * 🔒 Private/Restricted posts: If the post is private and you are not authenticated (or authentication fails), instaloader will throw — actor captures the error in item result. Consider providing IG_USER/IG_PASS if you have permission to access. * 🧯 Rate-limiting / blocks: If Instagram throttles requests or block occurs, expect exceptions from instaloader. Use backoff, rotate proxies, or reduce concurrency. * 🌍 Proxy detection failure: detect_proxy_type is best-effort and depends on external IP lookup; it may return "unknown" if detection fails or network is restricted. This value is informational only. * 🧷 Missing fields: Some posts may lack certain fields (e.g., video_view_count or video_duration). The actor returns null/None for missing fields and still outputs available data. * 🧰 Instaloader exceptions: Any instaloader exception is captured and returned as the error field for that item. --- # ✅ Best Practices * 🔁 Start with a small batch of URLs to validate proxy/auth behavior before scaling. * 🧭 Proxy strategy: Try DATACENTER proxies first (faster & cheaper). If you hit blocks or geolocation restrictions, switch to RESIDENTIAL proxies. (Actor input prefill shows RESIDENTIAL as an example, but your usage may differ.) * 🔒 Use credentials responsibly: If using IG_USER/IG_PASS, ensure you have the right to access accounts and store credentials securely via platform environment variables. * 🧰 Respect rate limits & ToS: Implement polite crawling practices—throttling and backoff—and check Instagram Terms of Use and applicable laws. * 🧩 Post-processing: Use the formats array to fetch actual media files with a downloader; verify CORS/redirect behavior when using direct media URLs. * 🛡️ Monitoring: Track error rates and proxy type distribution to detect blocks or degraded performance. --- # 🧾 Common Use Cases * 📊 Social media analytics — aggregate metadata and formats for trend analysis. * 🧾 Media archiving — obtain thumbnails and direct media URLs for backup or legal archiving when permitted. * 🕵️ Brand monitoring — track brand mentions and hashtags across video posts. * 🎯 Ad intelligence — collect creative assets and metadata for competitive analysis. * 🧪 Testing & QA — validate presence and properties of media for content pipelines. --- # 🧯 Troubleshooting Checklist * 🔍 "Can't parse shortcode" — Verify URL format (should contain /reel/ or /p/ or a post shortcode path). * 🔑 Authentication errors — Ensure IG_USER/IG_PASS are set correctly in actor environment variables; check instaloader login behavior. * 🌐 Proxy not working — Validate proxy config in input; test proxy URL separately; try different Apify proxy groups (DATACENTER vs RESIDENTIAL). * 🧰 Missing media URLs — Some videos may be served via temporary CDN tokens; re-fetch or download immediately after scraping. * 📈 High error rate — Reduce concurrency, rotate proxies, or use authenticated sessions. --- # 🧾 Development Notes (for maintainers) * 🛠️ The actor uses instaloader in a background thread (asyncio.to_thread) to keep the main loop async-friendly. * 🧭 Proxy URLs are created via Actor.create_proxy_configuration() and requested per shortcode with proxy_cfg.new_url(session_id=shortcode). Sessionized proxies reduce cross-item IP churn. * 📐 Numeric counts and durations are transformed by format_count and format_duration utilities for consumer-friendliness. * 🧪 detect_proxy_type performs a lightweight ipinfo.io request through the proxy to guess if it’s a datacenter or residential provider. This is optional and best-effort. * ⚙️ To scale throughput, consider a worker-pool pattern with controlled concurrency and per-worker proxy sessions plus central rate-limiting/backoff. --- # 🧾 Legal & Compliance Disclaimer * ⚖️ This software is provided as-is. The author and publisher of this actor are not responsible for misuse. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with: * 🔒 Instagram Terms of Service and platform policies * 🏛️ Local and international data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) * 📜 Any contractual obligations or permissions related to the content you access * 🧭 Use responsibly. If uncertain about legal exposure, consult legal counsel. --- # 📞 Support & Contact * ✉️ For questions, troubleshooting, or custom feature requests, contact: (mailto:alphascraper69@gmail.com) * 🔗 For a Reels-specific actor refer to: https://console.apify.com/actors/oGR3xfeXTuIirhdlZ/input (example actor link provided in actor input documentation). --- # 🏁 Final Notes * 🏷️ This actor is optimized for reliable metadata extraction and enterprise integration. Before large runs, test on a small sample set and tune proxy/authentication strategy. * 🔄 The actor writes both per-item dataset entries and an aggregated OUTPUT JSON in key-value store to fit different automation workflows. --- Thank you for using Instagram Video Scraper — built for stability, clarity, and enterprise readiness. 🚀
