🧠 Pro Tips for Instagram Extractor Optimization

✅ Maximize Free Profiles

Each keyword search includes 40 FREE profiles. Instead of searching "tech startup," try separate searches for "tech," "startup," "saas"—get 120 free profiles instead of 40.

✅ Use maxItems Wisely

Set maxItems to control costs. For testing, use maxItems: 50. For production, calculate your budget: maxItems = (budget - query_cost) / 0.0005.

✅ Disable Unnecessary Extraction

• Profiles only? Set both getFollowers: false and getFollowings: false
• Followers only? Set getFollowings: false
• Save 50-90% on costs by extracting only what you need

✅ Batch Related Searches

Combine similar keywords in one run rather than multiple separate runs to minimize query costs.

✅ Keywords vs Handles Decision

• Don't know specific accounts? Use keywords ($0.02 per search, 40 free)
• Have exact username list? Use handles ($0.01 per profile, no free items)
• Rule of thumb: Keywords are cheaper for discovering 40+ users

📦 Output

Output is stored in a dataset. Each item represents an Instagram user profile with comprehensive information:

🧩 Custom Map Function: Transform Instagram Profile Scraper Output

Transform and customize your Instagram profile scraper output data using the customMapFunction parameter. This JavaScript function receives each Instagram user object and returns your desired format.

---

How It Works

The custom map function accepts each user profile object as input and returns your transformed data structure. Use it to customize Instagram account details output format, calculate custom metrics, or reformat fields.

Important: Custom map function is for data transformation—not for filtering. Filtering items may result in automatic restrictions.

(object) => ({
  ...object,
  username: object.username?.toUpperCase(),
  influencerScore: object.followerCount / (object.followingCount + 1),
  contactEmail: object.biography?.match(/[\w.-]+@[\w.-]+\.\w+/)?.[0],
  biography: undefined  // Remove bio from output
})

// Input:
{
  "username": "nike",
  "followerCount": 250000000,
  "followingCount": 150,
  "biography": "Contact: marketing@nike.com"

✅ Set maxItems to control volume

👥 Missing Followers/Followings?

Problem: Instagram account details don't include follower or following lists

Solution: Ensure both parameters are set to true in your input configuration:

json

{
  "getFollowers": true,
  "getFollowings": true
}

If still missing, verify the target Instagram profiles are public (private accounts restrict follower visibility).

---

📧 No Public Email Found?

Problem: Instagram profile scraper didn't extract email addresses

Why this happens:

• ✅ Public emails are only available for business accounts that have added contact information
• ✅ Not all Instagram profiles have public emails—personal accounts typically don't display email publicly
• ✅ Some business accounts choose not to add public contact info

This is expected behavior—not a scraper error.

---

🔒 Private Profiles?

Problem: Cannot extract data from private Instagram accounts

Limitation: Private Instagram accounts cannot be scraped unless you're following them. This Instagram username scraper does not support authentication (no login, no cookies).

Workaround:

• Only scrape public Instagram profiles
• Verify accounts are public before adding to extraction list
• Focus on verified and business accounts (typically public)

---

❌ No Results?

Problem: Instagram scraper returns zero profiles

Troubleshooting checklist:

• ✅ Verify your usernames are spelled correctly (case-sensitive)
• ✅ Ensure Instagram profile URLs are formatted correctly
• ✅ Confirm the profiles are public (not private)
• ✅ Check that accounts haven't been deleted or suspended
• ✅ Test with known public accounts first (e.g., major brands)

Correct URL format:

✅ https://www.instagram.com/username/
❌ instagram.com/username (missing https://)
❌ https://www.instagram.com/@username/ (no @ symbol in URLs)**No results?** Verify your usernames/URLs are correct and the profiles are public.
