Input

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array	Instagram URLs. Paste the URLs, and get the results immediately. User, Tag, Location, Audio, Reels and Users' Tagged URLs are supported.
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of items that you want as output.
until	string	Returns posts newer than this date.
customMapFunction	string	Function that takes each of the objects as argument and returns data that will be mapped by the function itself. This function is not intended for filtering, please don't use it for filtering purposes or you will get banned automatically.
outputConnector	string	Pick an MCP connector you authorized in Console → Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors (e.g. Notion, Todoist — any service whose MCP server offers non-destructive write tools works best-effort). The scraped results are written through your own connector — the Actor never sees your third-party credentials. Only non-destructive write tools are used; it can never delete or overwrite your existing data.
deliverTarget	string	Where to write into the connector — paste the URL or ID. Notion example: https://www.notion.so/My-Posts-24f8a1b2c3d44e5f8a9b0c1d2e3f4a5b. Leave empty for services that need no target (e.g. Todoist Inbox, Slack). For Notion, share the page or database with your connector first (Notion's ••• → Connections menu), and point at a PAGE for structured columns (the Actor builds the database for you) — an empty database receives only the title (the rest of each record goes to the row's body).
deliverMode	string (perPost \| summary)	perPost writes one record per scraped item; summary writes a single roll-up for the run. default "perPost"
deliverMaxItems	integer	Cap on how many records perPost mode writes to the connector; ignored in summary mode. Leave empty to deliver everything scraped.
