Connecting 2 Apify Nodes?

Hi, I am trying to string 2 Apify nodes together.

The first one is scraping Instagram posts from a single IG profile, and outputting the post URLs.

The second one is scraping IG comments, based on those post URLs.

I am trying to output the first node (the post URLs) to the second node, so the second node can take those post URLs, and use them as the input for scraping the comments.

Is this possible?

The end goal: scraping IG comments from multiple IG post URLs.

This flow is definitely not right, just sharing for context:

Hey @mikefutia! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={your_run_id}&workbook_id={workbook_id}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

  3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

Hey @mikefutia - This won’t be possible unfortunately with the Apify Task Runner node as there are no inputs available for the task. You’ll have to replace that with a custom node with relevant inputs and then use Apify’s HTTP API endpoint to send the request with the relevant URLs.

This should be fairly easy to setup as Apify already provides the code template, eg: https://apify.com/apify/instagram-post-scraper/api which you can paste in the AI prompt within the custom node builder.

Let me know if this makes sense and works for you.
