What data can I scrape from Instagram profiles?

Using this Instagram Profile API, you will be able to extract the following Instagram user data:

👤 Profile name	🔗 Profile URL	🆔 Profile ID	📝 Profile bio
🌐 External URLs (websites)	👥 Number of profile followers	➡️ Number of profile follows	🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Related profiles
🎥 Total video count	📮 Total posts count	📚 Highlight reels count	🪪 Facebook ID

If you're not sure which profiles to extract data from, let's find them first. To find the right profiles to scrape for a niche, first use the keyword search by users in 🔗 Instagram Search Scraper. You can then reuse the resulting list as an input for Instagram Profile Scraper.

On paid plans, you get discounted rates and more monthly credit. For example, on the Starter plan, it costs just $2.30 per 1,000 results, which lets you scrape almost 17,000 results per month. Check the pricing tab for full details.

It shows a giant red nebula and its smaller blue neighbor, which are both part of a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 163,000 light-years away. In this picture, we can see how young, energetic, massive stars illuminate and sculpt their birthplace with powerful winds and searing ultraviolet radiation.⁣\n ⁣\nAt the heart of the big red nebula are sparkling stars, each of which are 10 to 20 times more massive than our Sun. The stars' ultraviolet radiation heats the surrounding dense gas. The massive stars also unleash fierce winds of charged particles that blast away lower-density gas, forming the bubble-like structures seen on the right, which resemble coral.⁣\n ⁣\nBy contrast, the seemingly isolated blue nebula at lower left was created by a solitary mammoth star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun. The blue gas was ejected by the star through a series of eruptive events during which it lost part of its outer envelope of material.⁣\n ⁣\nImage description: An image is split in two. In the bottom left of the first image a bright blue ring appears, slightly fading in all directions, with a small blue dot in the middle. Red and orange waves of gas ripple, arcing from top left to top right. A light blue center appears out of the sea of red, and several bright white dots shine through. In the top right, dark blue gas emanates from the blackness of space.⁣\n\nCredit: NASA, ESA, STScI⁣\n ⁣\n#NASA #Hubble #CoralReef #Nebula #Stars #Astronomy",

Selected in the “Turtles” astronaut class of 2017, she has a research background in geobiology, with degrees in biology and marine sciences from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.⁣\n⁣\nHer experience includes multiple expeditions to Antarctica as part of her studies of life in extreme environments like caves and deep-sea sediments.

The ponded water can drain through cracks in the ice sheet, and if it reaches bedrock at the base of the ice sheet can temporarily speed up the flow of ice toward the coast.\n \nThis true-color image was taken by the Landsat 9 satellite as it passed over western Greenland on July 2, 2025.\n \nHave a (n)ice day!\n \nImage description: Bright blue pools of water dot the white background of the Greenland ice sheet. There are some irregular shaped larger pools that are filled with water, but most of the features in the image appear as outlines, with water surrounding a bit of ice. In the bottom center of the image, two small melt ponds stand out at each edge of a curved line, with those features encircled by another melt pond, creating a smiling face pattern. \n \nCredit: NASA/USGS Landsat\n \n#NASA #Earth #Greenland #Meltponds #SmileyFace",

❓FAQ

What's the expected size of the Instagram Profile dataset?

Note that the dataset can become extensive due to sections like relatedProfiles, latestPosts, and latestIgtvVideos. If you only need key metrics and contact information from scraped Instagram profiles, you can exclude these fields in Storage > Dataset > Export dataset > Omit fields.

What if I only need very basic profile info from Instagram account?

In case you need to scrape only basic profile info, such as followers count, following count, and the last time the account posted, you can use 👥 Instagram Followers Count Scraper. It is more optimized for a specific use case like this.

Can I get Instagram details by username?

Yes. All you need is the profile’s username, and the scraper will fetch all available public data from that account. This includes metrics like followers, follows, posts, engagement, and profile contact details, so you don’t need anything more than the username to start.

Can I get Instagram details by URL or ID?

Yes. Simply provide the profile’s URL or ID, and the scraper will extract the same set of public data as it would with a username. Using URLs can be especially handy if you already have a list of Instagram profiles from another source and want to process them directly.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram profiles?

Our Instagram scrapers do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.

Can I use integrations with Instagram Profile Scraper?

You can integrate profile data scraped from Instagram with almost any cloud service or web app. We offer integrations with Zapier, n8n, Slack, Make, Airbyte, Gumloop, CrewAI, IFTTT, Lindy, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and plenty more.

Alternatively, you could use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, such as getting a notification whenever the Instagram Profile Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Can I use this Instagram data extractor with the Apify API?

Yes. The Apify API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors. Meaning the API will let you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch scraped profile results, create and update versions, and more.

To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package. Check out the Apify API reference docs for all the details.

Can I get Instagram account details through an MCP Server?

With Apify API, you can use almost any Actor in conjunction with an MCP server. You can connect to the MCP server using clients like ClaudeDesktop and LibreChat, or even build your own. Read all about how you can set up Apify Actors with MCP.

For Instagram Profile Scraper, go to the MCP tab and then go through the following steps:

1. Start a Server-Sent Events (SSE) session to receive a sessionId
2. Send API messages using that sessionId to trigger the scraper
3. The message starts the Instagram Profile Scraper with the provided input
4. The response should be: Accepted
