How this service works
Start the "Instagram API Scraper" Apify actor (apify/instagram-api-scraper). Scrape and download Instagram posts, profiles, places, hashtags, photos without login. Supports search keywords and URL lists. Download your data as HTML table…
Output
Returns an actor run object containing the run ID, status (e.g. READY), actor ID, start timestamp, total USD usage, default dataset ID for retrieving results, and a short-lived JWT token to fetch the scraped dataset once the run completes.
Example use cases
Competitor Instagram profile audit
“Scrape the Instagram profile and last 100 posts for the account 'nikefootball' — I want to analyze their posting frequency and content, use 1024 MB memory.”
Hashtag trend data collection
“Can you pull posts from the Instagram hashtag 'veganfood' — grab up to 200 items with 2048 MB memory so I can analyze trending content in that niche?”
Influencer research for brand partnership
“Get me the public Instagram profile data for 'humansofnewyork' including their recent posts, limit it to 50 items — I'm evaluating them as a potential brand partner.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://stableapify.dev/api/actors/apify/instagram-api-scraper/callWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to scrape public Instagram data (profiles, posts, hashtags, places) without managing Instagram login credentials or maintaining a scraping infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need structured Instagram data on-demand with a pay-per-call model using USDC. Prefer over direct Apify API calls when you want a simplified x402-payment-enabled interface without managing Apify API keys.
Side effects
- Private or restricted Instagram account returns no data
- Invalid username or URL causes actor run to fail or return empty dataset
- Memory limit too low for large scrape jobs causes actor to crash
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-bot measures result in incomplete data
- Token expiry before dataset is fetched (token valid ~30 days)
- Run may stay in READY/RUNNING state for extended time with no callback
