Instagram Search Users Scraper

Search for Instagram users by keyword. Returns username, full name, user ID, verification status, privacy status, profile picture URL, and a direct profile link.

Features

• Real-time Instagram data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
query	string	yes	Search keyword (max 500 characters)

Pricing

This Actor is billed per run — a flat $0.006 per run.

• One run returns all matching results for your input, and costs $0.006 — whether it comes back with one result or hundreds.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.
