Instagram Scrapers: Stories, Profiles & Audiences

Compare Instagram scrapers for public Stories, profiles, followers, following lists, and Highlights, with live pricing and product data from Apify.

Choose a focused Instagram Actor for the exact public data you need instead of forcing one general scraper into every workflow.

Start with the data you need.

The record type determines the right Actor. Use this short guide before comparing the live product details.

Public profile information

Use the profile Actor when the profile itself, rather than its audience lists or Stories, is the primary record.

Pricing, adoption, runs, and ratings come from the current public Apify listings and refresh every six hours.

How to choose

Instagram data is easier to work with when the collection method matches the object being requested. A current Story, a saved Highlight, a profile record, and an audience relationship are different data shapes. This collection keeps those jobs separate, so an automation can start with the smallest Actor that returns the required records.

For active Stories, begin by deciding whether the goal is a direct download or a dataset with more context. The Instagram Stories Downloader provides the simpler download-oriented route. The Advanced Instagram Stories Scraper is the stronger fit when the workflow depends on media URLs, timestamps, and the additional metadata available with each Story result.

Audience research has another important distinction. A followers list answers who follows a public profile. A following list answers which accounts that profile follows. The two dedicated Actors make that direction explicit, which reduces mistakes when results are passed into enrichment, research, or monitoring workflows.

Use the Instagram Profile Scraper when one row should represent the public profile itself. Use the Instagram Highlights Scraper when the input is a public Highlight URL and the desired output is the Story material stored inside that Highlight. These focused inputs make scheduled jobs and API integrations easier to reason about.

Every product listed here runs on Apify and links to its own product page, documentation, current pricing, and live Store listing. Review the input and output examples before a larger run, set a spending limit where appropriate, and test with a small public target first. The live product signals below are synchronized from Apify rather than maintained as marketing estimates.
