X-Ray META: an X-ray of any account's reels
Give it a public Instagram handle and you get a page with all its reels plotted by views and likes, the hook type of each one, which ones blew up, a hook comparer and the top 10. It runs on your computer with your own Apify account.
⚠ Read this first
Before you download: it uses YOUR Apify account, and Apify charges per use
- X-Ray META gets the data through Apify, an external service. You need your own Apify account and your own key (token). We don't give you a key and we don't pay for your usage.
- Apify has a free plan with $5 of credit per month. The reel scraper we use costs $2.60 per 1,000 reels on that plan: about $0.13 for 50 reels and $0.26 for 100. The free $5 covers roughly 1,900 reels a month.
- Every analysis is charged to your Apify account. The program sets a spending cap on each run so it can never run away.
- Your key stays on your computer (in a .env file). It never goes through Blackdark and is only sent to Apify.
- Public accounts only. You also need Node.js (free).
What you need
01
Node.js (free)
The program that runs X-Ray META. Mac, Windows or Linux.
02
Your Apify account
Free plan with $5 of credit per month. Analyzing 100 reels costs about $0.26.
03
Your Apify key (token)
Copy it in a minute from Settings → API & Integrations.
Free
Free. Includes the program, a step-by-step PDF guide with images (in Spanish) and a sample report with fictional data. We email it to you (about 3 MB ZIP).
How to use it, step by step
- 1
Install Node.js
Go to nodejs.org, download the “LTS” version and install it like any other app.
- 2
Create your Apify account and copy your key
Sign up at apify.com. Then go to Settings → API & Integrations and copy your “Personal API token”.
- 3
Unzip and paste your key
Unzip the file. In the rayos-x-meta folder, duplicate “.env.ejemplo”, rename it “.env” and paste your key after APIFY_TOKEN=.
APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_key - 4
Run the analysis
Open a Terminal in that folder (Mac: right-click → “New Terminal at Folder”; Windows: type cmd in the folder's address bar) and type the account name without the @.
node rayos.mjs accountname --reels 50 - 5
Open your report
In a minute or two you'll have informe-accountname.html in the folder. Double-click it.
Using Claude Code? Even easier
Ask in one sentence
Open the folder with Claude Code and say: “Analyze @accountname with rayos.mjs and label the hooks yourself”. It runs the program, reads the first line of each reel, labels the hooks and leaves you the report. You still need your Apify key in .env.
FAQ
X-Ray META is free. What you pay is Apify, on your own account: its free plan includes $5 of credit per month and analyzing 100 reels costs about $0.26 (50 reels, about $0.13). Re-running an account you already analyzed reuses the data and costs nothing.
The key is only stored in the .env file on your computer and the program only sends it to Apify. Blackdark never sees or stores it. Don't share it in screenshots: anyone who has it can spend your credit.
No. Public accounts only, the ones you can see without following them.
Apify returns the most recent ones up to the number you ask for (100 by default) and Instagram doesn't always serve the full history. Also, the map hides reels with under 100 views so they don't clutter the chart; untick the box to see them.
Yes, on both (and Linux). You only need Node.js installed.
“Falta APIFY_TOKEN”: you haven't created .env. “Apify rechaza el token”: copy it again. “No te queda saldo”: you've used this month's $5. “Apify no devolvió reels”: the account is private, doesn't exist or is misspelled.
