How this service works
Search Apify Store actors, start actor runs, and fetch results over x402 and MPP.
Output
Returns structured data for each scraped reel including reel URL, caption, timestamp, view count, like count, comment count, optionally share count, and optionally a downloaded video file and/or audio transcript. Results are paginated per profile up to the specified resultsLimit.
Example use cases
Brand reel performance monitoring
“Pull all Instagram reels from @adidas posted in the last 2 weeks — up to 20 reels — and give me the view counts, likes, and captions so I can track their campaign performance.”
Competitor content research with transcripts
“Scrape the 5 most recent reels from @glossier on Instagram and include audio transcripts for each one so I can analyze what messaging they're using.”
Influencer audit for partnership
“Get up to 15 reels from Instagram user @fitnesswithamy posted since 2025-01-01, skip any pinned posts, and include share counts so I can evaluate her engagement for a brand deal.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://stableapify.dev/api/actors/apify/instagram-reel-scraper/callWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured reel data from Instagram profiles at scale without managing Instagram API credentials or session tokens. Prefer it over manual scraping or direct Instagram API calls when you need quick per-call billing via USDC/x402, optional transcript extraction, or video archiving before link expiry. Best for agents doing social listening, influencer research, or content auditing on Instagram reels specifically.
Side effects
- Private or restricted Instagram accounts return no results
- Invalid username or URL format causes input validation error
- resultsLimit exceeded or account has fewer reels than requested (returns partial results)
- Instagram rate limiting may cause incomplete scrapes for large result sets
- includeSharesCount requires paid Apify Starter plan — free accounts return error
- includeTranscript or includeDownloadedVideo add-on costs may exceed expected budget
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 status and no data returned
