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
Input
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
urls | array | Yes | — | List of Instagram profile URLs to check (e.g. https://www.instagram.com/nike/) |
timeoutSeconds | integer | No | 15 | Maximum seconds to wait for each profile page to respond |
Input Example
{"urls": ["https://www.instagram.com/instagram/","https://www.instagram.com/nike/","https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/"]}
Output
Each profile produces one dataset item containing the input URL, username, display name, follower count, following count, post count, and bio. If a profile cannot be reached, the item includes an error field.
