Instagram Follower Counter (Bulk)

Monitor Instagram follower counts at scale for competitive analysis and influencer research. Paste a list of profile URLs, and this actor returns follower counts, following counts, post counts, and bios without launching a browser. Fast, lightweight, and designed for scheduled runs that feed dashboards and spreadsheets.

Features

  • Bulk input — check dozens or hundreds of Instagram profiles in one run
  • No headless browser — extracts data from public HTML meta tags for speed and low cost
  • Three key metrics — follower count, following count, and post count per profile
  • Profile bio extraction — captures the bio text alongside numeric stats
  • Schedule-friendly — run daily or weekly to build a follower-growth time series
  • Pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for profiles successfully checked
