## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Instagram Likers Scraper - Export Users Who Liked Any Post 2026

Extract users who liked specific Instagram posts. Likers show interest in the content - use them to build targeted lead lists, create lookalike audiences, and find potential customers at scale.

### No Login Required

**Your Instagram account stays safe.** This Actor:

- Does NOT require your Instagram login or cookies
- Uses our own infrastructure to fetch data
- Zero risk of account suspension for you
- Works with any public Instagram profile

Unlike browser extensions or tools that use your account, we handle all scraping server-side. Your credentials are never needed.

### Important: Processing Time

**This Actor uses a distributed scraping architecture.** Here's what to expect:

| Data Size | First Results | Complete Results |
|-----------|---------------|------------------|
| 5,000 likes | 5-10 min | 10-20 min |
| 20,000 likes | 10-20 min | 30-60 min |
| 50,000+ likes | 20-30 min | 1-2+ hours |

**Why does it take time?**

- Instagram has strict rate limits to prevent spam
- We use multiple proxy servers worldwide to stay undetected
- Viral posts with many likes require extensive data fetching

**Don't worry about timeouts!** Our streaming mode saves results every 60 seconds. Even if Apify times out after 24h, you'll have all the data collected up to that point.

### What You Get

- **User ID** - Unique Instagram identifier for each liker
- **Username** - Instagram handle (without @)
- **Full Name** - Display name from their profile
- **Profile Picture URL** - Direct link to their profile image
- **Verification Status** - Whether the account has a blue checkmark
- **Source Post** - Which post they liked
- **Timestamp** - When the data was scraped

### Likers vs Commenters

| Metric | Likers | Commenters |
|--------|--------|------------|
| Volume | High (thousands to millions) | Lower (hundreds to thousands) |
| Engagement Level | Medium - showed interest | High - took time to write |
| Best For | Scale, lookalike audiences, ads | Direct outreach, warm leads |
| Conversion Rate | Lower individually | Higher individually |

**When to use Likers:** When you need volume. Perfect for building large targeting lists for ads or understanding audience demographics at scale.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `postUrls` | Array | Yes | - | List of Instagram post URLs to scrape likers from |
| `limit` | Integer | No | 1000 | Maximum likers to extract per post. Can go up to 50,000+ |

    "postUrls": [
        "https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/",
        "https://www.instagram.com/p/XYZ789/"
    ],
    "limit": 10000
}
```

#### Example Output

### Use Cases

- **Lookalike Audiences** - Upload likers to Facebook/Instagram Ads to create lookalike audiences for targeting.
- **Scale Lead Generation** - Build massive lists of people interested in topics related to your product.
- **Competitor Analysis** - See who engages with competitor posts. Understand their audience.
- **Audience Research** - Analyze demographics and interests of people who like certain content.
- **Influencer Verification** - Check if an influencer's engagement comes from real, relevant accounts.

### Streaming Mode (Auto-Save)

This Actor uses **streaming mode** to protect your data:

- Results saved to dataset every 60 seconds
- No data loss even on timeout or interruption
- Monitor progress in real-time via logs
- Partial results always available

**Example:** If you're scraping 50,000 likers and Apify times out at 35,000, you still get those 35,000 users. Just run again to get the rest.

### Integrations

Export your data to:

- **Google Sheets** - Direct integration, auto-sync results
- **Zapier / Make (Integromat)** - Trigger workflows when scrape completes
- **Webhooks** - Get real-time notifications
- **API** - Programmatic access via Apify API
- **Download** - JSON / CSV / Excel files

### FAQ

#### Why is my scrape taking so long?

Instagram limits how fast data can be fetched. Viral posts with 100k+ likes require significant time to extract all users. Our distributed architecture maximizes speed while staying undetected.

#### Can I scrape likers from private accounts?

No, this Actor only works with public Instagram posts. Private accounts require login credentials which we don't support.

#### What if the Actor times out?

Your data is safe! Streaming mode saves results every 60 seconds to the Apify dataset. If the run times out, you can download whatever was collected.

#### Why can't I get all likers from old posts?

Instagram may limit access to like data on older posts. Recent posts typically return more complete data.

#### Can I scrape multiple posts at once?

Yes! Provide an array of post URLs. Likers from all posts will be extracted and you can identify which post each came from via the `sourcePost` field.

#### How do I find good posts to scrape?

Use our Instagram Posts Scraper to find high-engagement posts from accounts in your niche. Then scrape likers from those posts.

#### Are likers deduplicated across posts?

Users who liked multiple posts will appear once per post. You can deduplicate by `userId` after export if needed.

#### How often can I run this?

As often as you need. Each run is independent. For monitoring engagement trends, set up scheduled runs via Apify.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/"
  ]
}' |
apify call instaprism/instagram-likers-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,instaprism/instagram-likers-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
