When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract structured data from Instagram — posts, profiles, hashtags, places, or comments — at scale, especially when a single API call with payment via x402/USDC is preferred over managing Apify platform credentials directly.

Side effects

Invalid or private Instagram URL returns empty or error result
Instagram rate limiting may cause partial results
Actor timeout for very large scraping jobs
Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents execution
Invalid actor input schema returns 400 error
