1  What is Instagram Followers & Following Analyzer?

This Actor pulls the public followers and/or following of any Instagram account, applies powerful filters (follower range, verification, keywords in bio/name, recent activity, and more), then enriches each profile with:

• Median engagement rate (ER)
• Emails & phones from the bio (and optional deep caption scan)
• Latest post captions for extra context

All results are streamed to an Apify dataset you can download in JSON, CSV, XLSX, or via API.

2  Why use this Actor instead of X‑other Instagram scrapers?

🎯 Feature	What it means for you
🔥 Keyword filtering (exclusive)	Feed words/phrases like “wedding photography” or “NFT”; get back only matching bios/names.
Quality scoring	Median ER + Good/Poor label to separate active creators from zombie followers.
Deep contact search	Optionally scans up to 8 captions for hidden emails/phones most scrapers miss.
Checkpoint + resume	Runs auto‑save every batch; long lists survive platform migrations.
Runs on Apify	Free monitoring, scheduling, webhooks, proxy rotation, and a robust REST API.

Apify’s infrastructure handles concurrency, logging, and proxy IPs so you can focus on the data — no headless browsers or proxy juggling required.

8  FAQ & troubleshooting

How do I filter by multiple keywords? Just add each keyword as a separate list item in the Keywords field — the actor returns profiles containing any of them. Combine with follower range for laser‑sharp targeting.

How is the engagement rate calculated? We take likes + comments from up to 12 recent posts, divide by follower count, then output the median percentage — a robust metric against outliers.

Do I need proxies or an Instagram login? No. The actor uses Apify proxy pools under the hood; you don’t supply cookies or credentials.

Can I schedule this scrape daily? Yes. Click the Scheduler tab in Apify Console, choose your cron pattern, and your dataset will refresh automatically.

What’s the maximum dataset size? The Apify dataset comfortably handles hundreds of thousands of rows; export limits are 100 MB per file, but you can paginate via API.

What if Instagram rate‑limits the requests? The actor retries with exponential back‑off and continues from the last checkpoint, minimising lost progress.
