Why this scraper wins

🔓 Keyless — uses Instagram's public web_profile_info + GraphQL endpoints. You never supply credentials.
🏠 Residential by default — Instagram hard-blocks datacenter IPs; this actor ships with Apify Residential proxy preconfigured, so it just works.
🛡️ Graceful degradation — Instagram rotates its GraphQL doc_ids constantly; if deep pagination breaks, the actor still returns the profile and first-page posts instead of failing the whole run.
💸 Cheaper — $0.40 / 1,000 results, billed per item actually returned (empty/failed runs cost nothing).
🧹 Clean, flat records — one tidy object per profile/post, ready for sheets, dashboards or LLM pipelines.
📬 Built-in Notion delivery — push every run into Notion via Apify connectors, zero extra code.
🚦 Honest errors — a clear errorCode row when Instagram blocks, instead of silent emptiness.

FAQ

Do I need an Instagram account? No. Public profiles, posts and reels work keyless.

Why is residential proxy required? Instagram instantly blocks datacenter IPs. Residential keeps success rates high — it's preconfigured for you.

Can it get comments / followers / private accounts? Those require a logged-in session and aren't part of the keyless scope. Comments are available via a dedicated companion actor.

It returned an errorCode row — why? That's the actor telling you exactly what happened (RATE_LIMITED, BLOCKED, NOT_FOUND) instead of failing silently.
