Pricing

$0.0004 per result = $0.4 per 1,000

You are charged forWhenPrice
Result returnedCharged once per genuine result row. Samples, diagnostics and blocked runs are never charged.$0.0004
Actor StartCharged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).$0.001

Pay-per-event pricing: you are billed per result, not per subscription — a run that returns nothing costs nothing beyond the start fee. Billing is handled by Apify on your own account. These are the live Apify store prices, in effect since 2026-08-04, and they are what you are actually charged.

Inputs

FieldWhat it doesType
profilesUp to five public Instagram usernames, @handles, or profile URLs. Empty input or no configured account session returns exactly one labeled, uncharged sample row.array
maxStoriesPerProfileMaximum currently available story rows returned for each profile. Stories are limited by Instagram's current-story window.integer
sessionCookiesOptional, and normally not needed — runs work with no cookie at all. Supply your own Instagram account cookie here to run on your own account's rate limit, and to reach feeds the no-setup route does not cover. In Chrome: F12 -> Application -> Cookies -> https://www.instagram.com -> copy the sessionid value. Use an account you own and are authorized to automate. Cookie values are never logged or written to output.array
maxAttemptsBounded retries across rotating configured accounts and sticky proxy sessions.integer
requestTimeoutSecondsTimeout for each authenticated Instagram request.integer
maxRunSecondsHard wall-clock bound for profile resolution and story retrieval.integer

What you get

A structured dataset — each result includes fields like:

Export every run as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send it to your app, a database, Google Sheets, or an AI agent.
