# Actor input Schema

## `usernames` (type: `array`):

🔗 Enter the Instagram usernames, full URLs, or `@handles` you want to scrape tagged posts from.

🔹 *(e.g., `mrbeast` or `https://instagram.com/cristiano`)*

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

🔢 Limit the number of tagged posts to collect per profile.

✨ **Pro Tip:** Enter `0` to extract **ALL** available tagged posts from the target! 💯

## `proxy_configuration` (type: `object`):

🛡️ **Residential Proxies Recommended!**
Configure Apify Datacenter or Residential proxies for smooth, stable, and undetectable extraction to avoid Instagram rate limits.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "usernames": [
    "ronaldo",
    "https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/",
    "@leomessi"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}
```
