๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ Instagram Video Details scraper โ€” Apify Actor

๐Ÿš€ Production-ready Apify Actor for reliably extracting metadata and media URLs from public Instagram video posts (posts & reels). Built for enterprise usage on Apify Platform , optional IG credentials, per-item sessionized handling, and human-friendly output formatting.


๐Ÿงญ Actor Overview

  • ๐Ÿงฉ Name: Instagram Video Scraper
  • ๐Ÿงฐ Version: 0.1
  • โš™๏ธ Purpose: Scrape metadata and media resources from Instagram video URLs (both /p/ posts and /reel/ URLs) without requiring browser cookies by using instaloader and realistic request headers.
  • โ˜๏ธ Platform: Designed to run as an Apify Actor (Node-style runtime wrapper using apify Python SDK).
  • ๐Ÿ” Auth: Optional IG_USER / IG_PASS environment variables supported for authenticated access (helps with private/age-gated content where credentials are permitted).
  • ๐Ÿงญ Proxy: Full Apify proxy / custom proxy support. Actor will create per-item session proxy URLs to enable sticky IPs.

โš™๏ธ What This Actor Does (Instagram Video Details scraper)

  • ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ Accepts one or more Instagram video URLs (post or reel).
  • ๐Ÿ“ก Uses instaloader to fetch the canonical post node (metadata + available media resources).
  • ๐Ÿงพ Parses and normalizes fields such as owner info, counts, description, hashtags, mentions, upload date, formats (image/video resources), and more.
  • ๐Ÿ” Detects proxy type (best-effort) โ€” residential, datacenter, or unknown โ€” when a proxy URL is available.
  • ๐Ÿ’พ Pushes each scraped item to the actor dataset (one JSON per item) and writes the full result array to key-value store under OUTPUT.
  • ๐Ÿงช Formats numeric counts to human-readable short forms (1.3k, 2m) and durations to mm:ss or hh:mm:ss strings.
  • ๐Ÿงต Runs each item sequentially by default (safe, reduces rate limit pressure). Can be adapted for parallel runs by modifying the actor code.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Instagram Video Details scraper โ€” Key Features

  • ๐Ÿ”— Universal URL support โ€” accepts both /p/ (posts) and /reel/ paths; robust shortcode extraction.
  • ๐Ÿงท Optional authentication โ€” set IG_USER and IG_PASS via environment variables for logged-in requests.
  • ๐Ÿงญ Proxy-aware โ€” integrates with Apify proxy or custom proxy configuration; creates sessionized proxy URLs per shortcode.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Human-friendly output โ€” humanized counts (k, m) and durations for easier downstream consumption.
  • ๐Ÿ—„๏ธ Dual output options โ€” item-by-item dataset entries + a single key-value OUTPUT array JSON file for convenience.
  • โš ๏ธ Graceful error handling โ€” per-item error capture so one failure does not stop the whole run.
  • ๐Ÿ”Ž Caption parsing โ€” extracts unique hashtags and mentions from captions.
  • ๐Ÿงพ Comprehensive formats list โ€” includes all display_resources and video URLs found in Graph node, with deduplication.

๐Ÿ”ฌ How the Actor Works (Step-by-step flow)

  1. ๐ŸŸข Start & Input Read โ€” Actor starts and reads startUrls and optional proxyConfiguration from actor input.
  2. ๐Ÿงญ Normalize URLs โ€” Supports list of { "url": "..." } objects or raw string list; normalizes to canonical URL list.
  3. ๐Ÿช Proxy Configuration โ€” Creates Apify ProxyConfiguration object from input (or platform default) and attempts to acquire a sessionized proxy URL per shortcode.
  4. ๐Ÿ”Ž Shortcode Extraction โ€” Extracts Instagram shortcode from each URL using robust path parsing.
  5. ๐Ÿงต Per-item Proxy Detection โ€” If proxy URL is obtained, attempts to detect whether itโ€™s datacenter, residential, or unknown (best-effort via IP info lookup).
  6. ๐Ÿงช Scrape with Instaloader โ€” Calls a blocking instaloader routine in a background thread to fetch the post node and metadata. Uses IG_USER/IG_PASS if provided.
  7. ๐Ÿงพ Normalize & Format โ€” Builds result object including formats array, extracts hashtags/mentions, formats counts and durations, and populates metadata fields.
  8. ๐Ÿ’พ Push & Store โ€” Pushes each item to the actor dataset and, after finishing the run, writes the full array to key-value store under the key OUTPUT.
  9. โš ๏ธ Error Handling โ€” For any item-level exception, records "original_url": <url>, "error": <message> in results and continues processing remaining URLs.

๐ŸงพInstagram Video Details scraper โ€” Input Parameters

๐Ÿ”Ž Field๐Ÿ”ค Typeโœ… Requiredโœ๏ธ Description
๐ŸŸข startUrlsarrayYesList of Instagram video URLs to scrape. Accepts ["https://..."] or [{"url":"https://..."}].
๐ŸŸก proxyConfigurationobjectNoApify proxy / custom proxy configuration (editor: proxy). If omitted, actor will attempt to create a default proxy configuration (Apify Proxy if available). Example: {"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note: startUrls is required. Provide the full Instagram URL (including /reel/ or /p/ path). The actor prefill examples include both a reel and a post.


๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Environment Variables

๐Ÿ” Name๐Ÿ”ค Typeโœ๏ธ Purpose
๐ŸŸฃ IG_USERstringOptional Instagram username for authenticated requests. Set if you need to access content behind login.
๐ŸŸฃ IG_PASSstringOptional Instagram password. Use together with IG_USER.
๐ŸŒ HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, http_proxy, https_proxystringInternally set per-item when using proxies. You can also set them globally beforehand to force a proxy.

  • ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Dataset: Each item is pushed to the Apify dataset (one JSON object per post).
  • ๐Ÿงพ Key-Value Store: The entire results array is saved under the OUTPUT key in key-value store for easy download.

๐Ÿงช Usage Examples

๐Ÿงช Example: CLI run with Apify CLI

$apify run --input input.json

input.json contains the same JSON shown above.

๐Ÿงพ Example: Accessing results

  • โ–ถ๏ธ After run completes, view dataset in Apify Console or download OUTPUT (key-value store).
  • ๐Ÿ“ฅ Use Apify API to programmatically download the OUTPUT file.

โš–๏ธ Performance & Limits

  • ๐Ÿงฏ Sequential processing: The current implementation processes URLs one-by-one to avoid triggering Instagram rate limits. This is safe for reliability but slower for large batches.
  • โšก Parallelization: For higher throughput, you can modify the actor to run scrape_reel_with_optional_proxy concurrently, but you must add rate-limiting, proxy/session handling, and backoff logic.
  • ๐ŸŒ Proxy impact: Using sessionized proxies (Apify Proxy with session_id=shortcode) helps avoid block detection but may require RESIDENTIAL proxies for some geolocation-limited content.
  • โฑ๏ธ Time per item: Typical runtime depends on network, proxy latency, and whether authentication is used โ€” expect several seconds to tens of seconds per item.
  • ๐Ÿงฎ Limits: Instagram imposes rate limits and content access restrictions. Frequent large-scale scraping may cause temporary IP bans or require authenticated sessions.

๐Ÿšจ Error Handling & Edge Cases

  • โ— Invalid URL / Shortcode parse failure: Actor logs error and stores {"original_url": "...", "error": "Can't parse shortcode..."} for that item. Continues with remaining URLs.
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Private/Restricted posts: If the post is private and you are not authenticated (or authentication fails), instaloader will throw โ€” actor captures the error in item result. Consider providing IG_USER/IG_PASS if you have permission to access.
  • ๐Ÿงฏ Rate-limiting / blocks: If Instagram throttles requests or block occurs, expect exceptions from instaloader. Use backoff, rotate proxies, or reduce concurrency.
  • ๐ŸŒ Proxy detection failure: detect_proxy_type is best-effort and depends on external IP lookup; it may return "unknown" if detection fails or network is restricted. This value is informational only.
  • ๐Ÿงท Missing fields: Some posts may lack certain fields (e.g., video_view_count or video_duration). The actor returns null/None for missing fields and still outputs available data.
  • ๐Ÿงฐ Instaloader exceptions: Any instaloader exception is captured and returned as the error field for that item.

โœ… Instagram Video Details scraper โ€” Best Practices

  • ๐Ÿ” Start with a small batch of URLs to validate proxy/auth behavior before scaling.
  • ๐Ÿงญ Proxy strategy: Try DATACENTER proxies first (faster & cheaper). If you hit blocks or geolocation restrictions, switch to RESIDENTIAL proxies. (Actor input prefill shows RESIDENTIAL as an example, but your usage may differ.)
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Use credentials responsibly: If using IG_USER/IG_PASS, ensure you have the right to access accounts and store credentials securely via platform environment variables.
  • ๐Ÿงฐ Respect rate limits & ToS: Implement polite crawling practicesโ€”throttling and backoffโ€”and check Instagram Terms of Use and applicable laws.
  • ๐Ÿงฉ Post-processing: Use the formats array to fetch actual media files with a downloader; verify CORS/redirect behavior when using direct media URLs.
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Monitoring: Track error rates and proxy type distribution to detect blocks or degraded performance.

๐Ÿงพ Instagram Video Details scraper โ€” Common Use Cases

  • ๐Ÿ“Š Social media analytics โ€” aggregate metadata and formats for trend analysis.
  • ๐Ÿงพ Media archiving โ€” obtain thumbnails and direct media URLs for backup or legal archiving when permitted.
  • ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Brand monitoring โ€” track brand mentions and hashtags across video posts.
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Ad intelligence โ€” collect creative assets and metadata for competitive analysis.
  • ๐Ÿงช Testing & QA โ€” validate presence and properties of media for content pipelines.

๐Ÿงฏ Instagram Video Details scraper โ€” Troubleshooting Checklist

  • ๐Ÿ” "Can't parse shortcode" โ€” Verify URL format (should contain /reel/ or /p/ or a post shortcode path).
  • ๐Ÿ”‘ Authentication errors โ€” Ensure IG_USER/IG_PASS are set correctly in actor environment variables; check instaloader login behavior.
  • ๐ŸŒ Proxy not working โ€” Validate proxy config in input; test proxy URL separately; try different Apify proxy groups (DATACENTER vs RESIDENTIAL).
  • ๐Ÿงฐ Missing media URLs โ€” Some videos may be served via temporary CDN tokens; re-fetch or download immediately after scraping.
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ High error rate โ€” Reduce concurrency, rotate proxies, or use authenticated sessions.

๐Ÿงพ Instagram Video Details scraper โ€” Development Notes (for maintainers)

  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ The actor uses instaloader in a background thread (asyncio.to_thread) to keep the main loop async-friendly.
  • ๐Ÿงญ Proxy URLs are created via Actor.create_proxy_configuration() and requested per shortcode with proxy_cfg.new_url(session_id=shortcode). Sessionized proxies reduce cross-item IP churn.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Numeric counts and durations are transformed by format_count and format_duration utilities for consumer-friendliness.
  • ๐Ÿงช detect_proxy_type performs a lightweight ipinfo.io request through the proxy to guess if itโ€™s a datacenter or residential provider. This is optional and best-effort.
  • โš™๏ธ To scale throughput, consider a worker-pool pattern with controlled concurrency and per-worker proxy sessions plus central rate-limiting/backoff.

๐Ÿงพ Legal & Compliance Disclaimer

  • โš–๏ธ This software is provided as-is. The author and publisher of this actor are not responsible for misuse. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with:

    • ๐Ÿ”’ Instagram Terms of Service and platform policies
    • ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Local and international data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
    • ๐Ÿ“œ Any contractual obligations or permissions related to the content you access
  • ๐Ÿงญ Use responsibly. If uncertain about legal exposure, consult legal counsel.
