I did a run on 10 profiles with the intention of getting a list of related profiles, but only got results for 1 of the entries. Even though, I see that there were related profiles showing in browser normally.

Hi! Can you please provide screen shot of what you see in browser? Related profiles not supposed to be displayed in UI, its internal data saved by actor "as is" from Instagram. So you probably evaluating relatedProfiles from dataset with some other value.

So I see one that has 75 profiles, and the rest are 0. Are you saying that these are not related profiles? This is just the data preview from the run page.

Hi! I mean in Instagram web app there is no known way to evaluate which profiles are related, see https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/iSBNsnodMBh2SyBRN/items?clean=true&fields=url,relatedProfiles&format=json

There is "related profiles" for https://www.instagram.com/activeaiah but not for https://www.instagram.com/sheisbresilva

Actor getting values for related profiles from internal Instagram data, in the past it was displayed in "About" section but right now removed at least for browser app even for logged Instagram users

So actor just forwarding Instagram data "as is".

OK that is very interesting. Strange because on both those profiles, I can see 'Similar Accounts' option.

Anyway, I'll work with what I can get. Thanks.

Thanks for understanding, if you can see "Similar Account" in mobile app it might be different, because IG provides more data for logged mobile app users. Actor capable to get what is available in incognito browser with some internal additional details which provided for browser app but not necessarily displayed by it.
