The input this example runs Instagram Scraper with. “Try this input” opens it in the console, where you can run it as-is or change any field first.

Content to scrape resultsType

Comments

One results type per run. Posts returns a feed. Details returns the metadata object for the URL. Comments works with post and reel URLs, and with profile, hashtag, place or audio URLs: those return the comments of their latest posts (see Posts to read comments from). Stories is accepted but hidden in the console.

Default: Posts → this example uses Comments

Instagram URLs based on content type directUrls

https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/

Instagram URLs: profiles, posts, reels, hashtags (explore/tags), places (explore/locations) or audio pages. When this list is not empty, search is ignored.

Results limit per URL resultsLimit

5

How many posts, reels, comments, or mentions to return per URL. In Comments mode the limit is per post: a profile, hashtag, place or audio URL returns up to this many comments from each of its latest posts.

Default: 20 → this example uses 5

Posts to read comments from commentsPostsLimit

3

Comments mode with a profile, hashtag, place or audio URL: read the comments of this many of its latest posts (newest first, after the date filter and Skip pinned posts). Results limit per URL then applies to each post. Post and reel URLs ignore this field.

Default: 10 → this example uses 3

What it costs

About $0.013 for 5 results

An estimate: 5 × $0.0026 per result (One saved Instagram result: a post, reel, comment, profile, hashtag or place). A run is charged for the events it reports, so one that finds fewer results costs less. Platform usage is included in the event price.
