Replace the demo handle with your public username and run the task to save a baseline. Add a Daily schedule in Apify Console; from the third run on, each check lists every confirmed new follower since the previous one.
Each new row has the follower's username, full name, profile picture, verified and private flags, the tracked account, and the time the change was detected.
Instagram does not show a follow date, so no tool can sort followers by it. The tracker records when each new follower was detected, which builds a dated history of changes from your first run on.
Yes. The same run lists accounts that disappeared from the follower list as lost rows, next to the new ones.
Yes. Each run saves its rows in an Apify dataset that you can download as CSV, Excel or JSON, or read through the Apify API.
