Instagram Email Scraper: Emails, Phones, WhatsApp

Instagram email scraper: paste a list of Instagram usernames and get each profile's emails, phone numbers and WhatsApp numbers, from its bio and from the pages it links to (its link-in-bio page, website and contact page, YouTube channel and TikTok profile), with where each one was found, the Contact button's type, followers, engagement, category and links. One row per profile, no login.

$2.19 per 1,000 profiles on the Starter plan ($2.59 Free, $2.09 Scale, $1.49 Business). The prefilled run (10 profiles) costs at most $0.02 ($0.03 on Free). Emails and phones are included when the profile publishes one, and so are bio, links, followers, engagement and Reels views. No start fee, no minimum.

What you get

• Every email address found, in emails: the ones written in the bio first, then the ones on the profile's own pages. businessEmail is the best business inbox found and businessContactSource says where: facebook, link page, website, youtube, tiktok or instagram. In our test runs on Apify (2026-10-07) 9 of the 10 prefilled profiles and 36 of 68 fitness creators came with at least one email.
• Phone and WhatsApp numbers, in phones and whatsappNumbers: numbers written in the bio, WhatsApp links in the bio, and the tel: and WhatsApp links or listed telephone on the profile's own pages. Businesses publish them far more often than creators (2 of the 4 prefilled food businesses, none of 68 fitness creators).
• Where it looks: the bio; the profile's Facebook Page (its intro's email and phone, when the Page names the profile's own website); the link-in-bio page (Linktree, Beacons, hoo.be, Stan, ShopMy, Carrd and 15 more); the profile's own website and up to two of its contact or about pages; and the YouTube channel and TikTok profile those pages link to. When the profile's Instagram links don't reach its website (a shop link only), the website its Facebook Page names is read too, contact pages included. pagesScanned lists the pages read and linkPageLinks where the link-in-bio page points, so you can check every address.
• Where each one came from: contactSources lists every email, phone and WhatsApp number once per place it was seen (bio, bio link, facebook, website, link page, youtube, tiktok) with that page's URL, and businessEmailSource and businessPhoneSource say where the business email and the business phone each came from (they can differ: the email from the Facebook Page, the phone from the website's contact page).
• Only the profile's own inboxes: a website counts only when its name matches the handle or display name, and only addresses on its own domain or a personal inbox (Gmail, Outlook...) are kept. Shops, brand checkouts and link platforms' own inboxes (hello@shopmy.us, info@liketoknow.it) are left out.
• The business address and story highlights: the street, city and ZIP when the business shows them, and up to 10 story highlights. The Contact button's type (businessContactMethod) and the address's coordinates are unavailable logged out since 2026-11-03 (Instagram stopped answering its app record for visitors who aren't logged in).
• The whole profile at no extra cost: name, full bio, website and every bio link, category, account type, verified and private flags, exact followers, following and posts, average likes and comments, engagement rate, last post date, the views of the latest 12 reels, Threads handle, linked Facebook page and every account flag Instagram shows visitors.
• One row per profile, in your order, charged once even if you list it twice. Unknown and age-restricted profiles are listed in the run summary and never charged.
• No login, no cookies, no account of yours involved. The Actor reads only what Instagram and the profile's own pages show to any visitor.

Typical uses: turning an influencer or creator shortlist into an outreach sheet, collecting the emails and phones of local businesses you found on Instagram, and enriching a CRM list of Instagram handles.

Need the profile data without crawling contact websites? Instagram Profile Scraper returns bio, follower counts, engagement and recent Reels in one row per profile.

Input

{
  "usernames": ["russanddaughters", "@milkbarstore", "https://www.instagram.com/gymdad_jim/"],
  "includeContactDetails": true
}

• 📇 Instagram profiles: usernames, @usernames or profile URLs, one per line (up to 1,000 per run).
• 📬 Search their own pages for contacts: on by default. Off = bio emails and phones only, a few seconds faster per profile.
• 📈 Include followers and engagement: on by default, included in the price.
• Advanced: Max profiles (caps the run's cost), Include Reels views (on), Include latest posts (off; adds each profile's latest 6 posts), Proxy.

Output

One row per profile. The dataset's 📇 Contacts view shows the emails, phones, where they were found, the Contact button, category, website and followers; 📊 Overview, 🔎 Details, 📈 Stats and 🎬 Reels show the rest. The run's OUTPUT record (🧾 Run summary) counts the profiles with an email and with a phone, lists each input's status (found, not found, age-restricted) and, in contactSearch, how the pages read for contacts ended, by source: a contact found, none, not the profile's, refused (a login wall or HTTP 401/403/429), timed out, unreadable, another HTTP answer, or cut by the contact search's time limit.

• externalUrl: the profile's website (its first bio link).
• contactEmail: an email address written in the bio or name, when there is one (about half of the rows in our runs of the prefilled input).

Pricing

Pay per result: you pay for each profile delivered, never for usernames that don't exist or that Instagram hides (age-restricted accounts), and never twice for the same profile.

Plan	Per 1,000 profiles (emails, phones and WhatsApp numbers when published; bio, links, followers, engagement and Reels views included)
Free	$2.59
Starter	$2.19
Scale	$2.09
Business	$1.49

Set a maximum cost on the run and the Actor stops at or before it. Proxies are included: everything is read through Apify's datacenter proxy.

Good to know

• Hidden from visitors who aren't logged in: the phone number and email behind a business's Contact button. Instagram sends both as null without a login (the business address's street, city and ZIP do come through; the button's type is unavailable logged out since 2026-11-03). Some email extractors fill them by logging in on their side; this Actor never logs in, so it finds emails and phones where profiles publish them: the bio, the link-in-bio page, the website, YouTube and TikTok. A profile that publishes its inbox nowhere but behind the Contact button comes without one.
• Hit rates depend on the list: in our runs on Apify (2026-10-07), the prefilled list (food businesses and creators who publish their inbox) gave an email for 9 of 10 profiles and a phone for 2; 68 fitness creators gave an email for 36 and a phone for none.
• Speed: rows stream into the dataset in your order as each profile's pages are read. In our runs on Apify (2026-10-07, default 256 MB), the first row arrived 0.4 to 1.4 s after the Actor started reading, 5 profiles took 3.5 to 5.3 s in 9 of 10 runs (1.2-1.6 s of the slower ones was Apify loading the Actor onto a new server), the prefilled 10 took about 5.8 s and 68 creators about 32 s.
• Private accounts come with their name, bio, bio email and follower count (Instagram shows no posts or reels for them).
• Not found: unknown or renamed usernames and age-restricted accounts (alcohol brands, for example) are listed in the run summary and not charged; the rest of the run continues. Five profiles failing in a row stop the run with a clear message (Instagram refusing visitors at that moment) instead of retrying a long list.
• Need lookalikes too? The Instagram Related Profiles Actor finds the accounts Instagram suggests next to a profile, with the same columns.

Feedback

Found a bug or a missing field? Open an issue in the Issues tab. If the Actor saves you time, a short review on its Store page helps others find it.
