Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

The only Apify scraper that returns `repost_count`. No login, no cookies, no browser. ### Why This Scraper Most Instagram post scrapers on Apify return 20-40 fields and skip critical metrics. This actor returns 128 fields per post — including `repost_count`, `share_count`, `save_count`, and full audio/music metadata that others miss entirely. If you're analyzing content performance, you need the complete picture. **Key data others miss:** - `repost_count` — how many times the post was reshared (Apify's own scraper doesn't return this) - `share_count` — separate from reposts, this is DM/story shares - `save_count` — bookmark saves, the strongest engagement signal - Full audio metadata — artist name, song title, audio ID, original audio flag - Video technical specs — duration, dimensions, codec info - Content flags — is_paid_partnership, sponsor tags, product tags ### What You Get 128 fields per post, organized in five groups: **Engagement Metrics:** like_count, comment_count, view_count (for Reels/videos), share_count, save_count, repost_count, play_count **Content Data:** caption text, hashtags, mentions, tagged users, location (name, lat/lng, address), post type (photo/video/carousel/reel), media URLs (images, video, carousel items), thumbnail URLs, accessibility text (alt text) **Audio & Music (Reels):** audio title, artist name, audio ID, is_original_audio, audio URL, music genre **Creator Profile:** username, full name, user ID, profile picture URL, is_verified, follower_count, biography, external URL, business category **Technical Metadata:** post ID, shortcode, posted timestamp, taken_at_timestamp, media dimensions, video duration, is_paid_partnership, sponsor tags, product tags, filter type, can_reshare flag ### Use Cases **Content Performance Analysis** — Compare engagement rates across post types (photo vs Reel vs carousel). Identify which formats drive the most saves and reposts — the metrics that actually signal purchase intent. **Competitor Benchmarking** — Pull detailed metrics from a competitor's top-performing posts. Analyze their caption style, hashtag strategy, posting cadence, and which audio tracks drive virality. **Influencer Campaign Tracking** — Verify actual engagement numbers on sponsored posts. Check `is_paid_partnership` flags, compare view counts to follower counts, and track save rates as a quality metric. **Trending Audio Discovery** — Extract audio metadata from viral Reels in your niche. Build a library of trending sounds before they peak. **UGC Monitoring** — Track posts that tag your brand or location. Get complete engagement data to measure earned media value. **Ad Creative Research** — Scrape competitors' ad posts (identifiable via `is_paid_partnership`) to analyze creative formats, caption length, hashtag usage, and engagement patterns. ### Input | Field | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | `urls` | One or more Instagram post or Reel URLs | `https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/`, `https://www.instagram.com/reel/XYZ789/` | Accepts any public Instagram post URL — standard posts (`/p/`), Reels (`/reel/`), and TV (`/tv/`).
