FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What data does the Instagram Creator Scraper extract per profile?

Each run returns 34 structured fields including bio text, follower and following counts, post and reel totals, business email, phone, address, category labels, verification flags, related profile lists, and the highest-resolution avatar URL available.

Can I extract data from private Instagram accounts?

No. This API only extracts data from public Instagram accounts. Private accounts (is_private: true) are not accessible without authentication. The is_private field in the output indicates account visibility status.

How many profiles can I extract per run?

The actor is designed for single-profile extraction per run targeting a specified username or profile URL. For bulk profile extraction pipelines, trigger multiple runs programmatically via the Apify API or client SDK.

Technical Questions

What input formats are accepted?

The actor accepts both plain usernames (e.g., "natgeo") and full profile URLs (e.g., "https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/"). Username format is recommended for most pipelines.

What format does the output use?

Output is structured JSON with 34 fields per profile. Data is also available in CSV format and via REST API using the Apify dataset endpoint.

Can I integrate this with Make.com or n8n?

Yes. Use the "Run an Actor" module in Make.com or the Apify node in n8n. Configure the Actor ID and input JSON, run synchronously, and retrieve results from the defaultDatasetId output.

Is the scraper compatible with AI frameworks?

Yes. The JSON output is optimized for LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, and other AI frameworks. The structured schema makes it suitable for creator ranking agents, contact enrichment tools, and audience intelligence workflows.

Data Quality Questions

Why might business contact fields be empty?

Instagram only exposes email, phone, and address fields for accounts that have explicitly set up a business profile and made contact details public. Personal and professional accounts without business settings will return null for these fields.

How fresh is the extracted data?

Each run fetches live data from Instagram's public profile pages at the time of execution. Schedule runs on a recurring basis to maintain time-series snapshots of profile metrics.

What if a username returns no results?

Common causes: the username does not exist, the account has been deactivated, or the account is private. Verify the username on Instagram before running. The status field in output indicates extraction success or failure.
