β FAQ
Is this an Instagram API alternative?
Yes. It hits Instagram's media endpoints directly to return download links for Reels, Posts and Stories, so you get structured data without the official Graph API, app review or access tokens.
How do I export Instagram data to CSV or JSON?
Every run writes results to an Apify dataset. After it finishes you can export the download links and metadata as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML straight from the dataset.
Can I scrape Instagram media without login?
Yes. The Actor extracts media from public Reel, Post and Story links without an Instagram account, cookies or sign-in.
Is there a bulk Instagram media downloader mode?
Yes. Paste hundreds of Reel, Post or Story URLs at once and the Actor processes them in a single run for high-volume extraction.
