Instagram Scraper

/apify/instagram-scraperasync$0.0068 / result

Extract Instagram posts, reels, profiles, places, hashtags, carousels, and comments. Get data from Instagram using one or more Instagram URLs or search queries: content, context, metrics, metadata. Export scraped data, run the scraper via API, schedule and monitor runs or integrate with other tools. Runs as an Apify actor (20–120 s); results are dataset rows.

Charged per returned row plus the flat fee.
