Output
Each dataset item:
{"username_scrape": "aakrititiwari3010","type": "Followers","full_name": "Kartik Khanderao","id": "44402520862","is_private": true,"is_verified": false,"profile_pic_url": "https://...","username": "kartikkhanderao08"}
Local run
pip install -r requirements.txtplaywright install chromiumpython scripts/run_local.py
First run downloads Chromium (~150 MB) for session bootstrap.
Create storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json:
{"username": "instagram","maxFollowers": 100,"proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true,"apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}}
Deploy to Apify
npm install -g apify-cliapify loginapify push
Pricing (PPE): Set pay-per-result pricing in the Apify Console under Actor → Monetization. No pricing logic lives in this codebase — results are saved with Actor.push_data() only.
Notes
- Uses Instagram direct API with guest session (no third-party API, no user login cookie).
- Public profiles only.
- Residential proxy is required for reliable runs; without it Instagram often returns HTTP 429.
