  • Media details (image URL, carousel media count, tagged users)

}

How to Use

You can run the actor via the Apify Console or programmatically using the API.

Running via API

Below are examples for triggering the actor.

run_input = {
    "urls": [
        "https://www.instagram.com/kimkardashian/",
        "https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/"
    ]
}
run = client.actor("rigelbytes/instagram-post-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

    urls: [
        "https://www.instagram.com/kimkardashian/",
        "https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/"
    ]
};
const run = await client.actor("rigelbytes/instagram-post-scraper").call(input);

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rigelbytes~instagram-post-scraper/runs?token=${API_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data-raw '{"urls":["https://www.instagram.com/kimkardashian/","https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/"]}'

Output

Pricing & Proxies

• Pricing: The service costs $25 per month, which includes scraping from an unlimited number of profiles.
• Proxies: For large-scale or frequent scraping, using a residential proxy service is recommended to prevent IP blocking. The actor supports proxy configuration via the input field.
