Just decide whose Instagram reels you want to scrape (e.g. @nasa) and how many recent
reels you need (let's say 314) and you're good to start scraping.

What does Instagram Reel Scraper do?

Our Instagram Reels Scraper allows you to scrape public reels from any Instagram user.
Just enter one or more Instagram usernames and you can extract and download all their
reels and their details onto your computer.
You can download that structured data in Excel, HTML, XML, CSV, Excel, and JSON to use
in reports, data visualizations, spreadsheets, and applications.

How many results can you scrape with Instagram Reels scraper?
Instagram Reels scraper can return up to 10k results - on a good day. (And of course, if
there are that many.)
You have to keep in mind that scraping Instagram Reels is dynamic and subject to change.
There’s no one-size-fits-all-use-cases number. The maximum number of results may
vary depending on the complexity of the input, location, and other factors.
Therefore, while we regularly run Actor tests to keep the benchmarks in check, the results
may also fluctuate without our knowing. The best way to know for sure for your particular
use case is to do a test run yourself.

How much will scraping Instagram Reels cost you?

Yes, Apify provides $5 free usage credits every month on the Apify Free plan, so you can
scrape 2,000 reels for free within the credit limit. For more frequent or extensive data
scraping, consider upgrading to the $49/month Starter plan, which can get you over
20,000 reels per month.

datasets containing thousands or millions of Instagram reels can be used to train your
AI models, monitor fake news, or fight hate speech.

Input parameters
There are just two fields to fill out: an Instagram username (one or multiple) and the
number of results you'd like to receive. Let's scrape the recent Instagram reels from
Volodymyr Zelenskiy's Instagram account.

Or, as it would look in JSON format:

"username": ["zelenskiy_official"],

"resultsLimit": 10

Instagram output
Each item will be a separate item in the dataset. You can view the extracted data as an
overview table or see all fields in different formats. You can then export them from the
platform onto your computer or integrate with other apps directly.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram?
Our Instagram scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data such as email
addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share
publicly. We therefore believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify
users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal
data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other
regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a
legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your
lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.

Integrations and Instagram Reel Scraper

Last but not least, Instagram Reel Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service
or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate with Make,
Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and more. Or you can use
webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g. get a notification
whenever Instagram API Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Using Instagram Reel Scraper with the Apify API

The Apify API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized
around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify
actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch
results, create and update versions, and more.
To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API
using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package.
Check out the Apify API reference docs for full details or click on the API tab for code
examples.

Not your cup of tea? Build your own scraper

Instagram Reels Scraper doesn’t exactly do what you need? You can always build your
own! We have various scraper templates in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript to get you
started. Alternatively, you can write it from scratch using our open-source library Crawlee.
You can keep the scraper to yourself or make it public by adding it to Apify Store (and find
users for it).
Or let us know if you need a custom scraping solution.
