Every input gets a row. Profiles that can't be scraped appear with status = blocked, not_found or invalid_input, the exact error and a fix_hint telling you what to change. These rows are never charged (turn them off with includeFailedProfiles: false). Successful rows have status = ok.

The dataset has three views: Overview (all fields), Contacts only and Influencer metrics.

📊 Run summary

Every run writes a RUN_SUMMARY record (Storage → Key-value store): profiles saved, saved with contact, charged events, results per input profile, request and block counts, field fill rates and every skip reason with examples — so you always know why a profile is missing.

💰 Pricing

Pay per result. You are charged only for profiles that are saved to your dataset:

Event	When
profile-lead	Profile saved, no public email or phone found
profile-lead-with-contact	Profile saved with at least one email or phone

Profiles that are not found, blocked, duplicated, already seen in a previous run, or removed by your filters are never charged. Set "Max cost per run" and the actor stops cleanly at your budget.

❓ FAQ

Why are some emails missing? Many accounts don't publish one. Turn on scanBioLinks — link-in-bio pages often list an email that isn't in the bio.

Why is engagement empty for some profiles? Private accounts, accounts with no posts and accounts that hide like counts can't be measured. The field stays empty (never estimated) and engagement_note says why.

Why are related profiles empty? Instagram doesn't show similar accounts for every profile to logged-out visitors. The summary counts how often this happened.

My run finished with no profiles. Open the Output tab: each profile has a status and fix_hint. blocked almost always means the run wasn't on the RESIDENTIAL proxy group, or Instagram was rate-limiting at that moment — run again.

I'm getting blocked. Use the Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy group. Blocked requests are retried on a new IP automatically.
