All notable changes to this actor are documented here.
Account Type now tells business, creator and personal apart. It read Instagram's
is_business flag, which is true for business accounts only — so every creator account,
professional and with a working Contact button, came back labelled personal. On the 44
accounts behind this actor's published contact rate, 18 are creators and 8 of them publish an
email or a phone.
- New value
creator. The column is now business | creator | personal, read from
Instagram's own account type rather than inferred from one flag.
- New filter options. «Professional (business or creator)» and «Creator only» join the
account-type filter. If you were using «Business only» to mean "someone I can contact", switch
to Professional — business only was discarding more than half the professional accounts on
your list.
- The published rates are restated by kind, because the old two-way split averaged creators
into "personal" and described neither: business 43%, creator 39%, personal 17% —
and every personal hit was an address typed into the bio, never a contact field.
No change to prices, to what is charged, or to any other column.
First release.
Reads a list of Instagram usernames and returns the contact details each account
publishes: email, phone, website, business category, bio, follower count and account
type. One read per account, no posts fetched, no login.
- 18 output columns, one row per account you submit. Accounts held back by a
free-plan ceiling come back by name as
not_analyzed rows rather than as a count.
- One paid event — $0.01 per account read, whether or not it passes your filters.
Not-found, private and failed reads are not charged, and a first run is not charged
for accounts its own filters rejected (up to 100).
- Free plan: 30 accounts per run, 15 runs per calendar month. The monthly slot is
reserved before the first read and handed back when a run ends without reading
anything, so an aborted run cannot get around it.
- A run that finds no contacts says so, and says whether that was ordinary for the
length of the list or whether it says something about the list. On accounts drawn
from real customer lists, 34% publish an email or a phone — so a short list coming
back empty is expected, and a long one is not.
- Resume from checkpoint after a migration, a timeout or an abort, without paying
again for the accounts already read.
