Instagram Creator Email Finder

Instagram Creator Email Finder turns public Instagram profiles into outreach-ready lead rows with creator names, public emails, business phone numbers, websites, social links, audience size, category, contact confidence, and evidence URLs.

Use it to qualify influencer lists without manually opening every bio and linked website. Each requested profile produces either a usable lead or an explicit availability status, so you can measure coverage instead of silently losing unmatched accounts.

Quick start

1. Add Instagram usernames or full profile URLs to profiles.
2. Choose how many linked website pages to inspect with maxLinkedPagesPerProfile.
3. Run the Actor and export the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, or through the API.

The default recipe is deliberately small so you can verify the fields before scaling to a larger creator list.

Example output

{
  "username": "examplecreator",
  "fullName": "Example Creator",
  "primaryEmail": "hello@example.com",
  "businessPhoneNumber": null,
  "externalUrl": "https://example.com",
  "followersCount": 125000,
  "category": "Digital creator",
  "contactConfidence": "high",
  "status": "found",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.instagram.com/examplecreator/",
  "contactSourceUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/examplecreator/"],
  "collectedAt": "2026-08-11T20:00:00.000Z"
}

What data you get

Every dataset row can include the username, full name, biography, profile URL, avatar, follower and following counts, post count, verification and privacy flags, category, public business email, public phone number, linked website, additional emails, social links, source URLs, confidence, status, and collection time. Optional values remain nullable when the public profile does not expose them.

Input settings

Setting	JSON key	Description
Instagram usernames or profile URLs	profiles	Add 1–100 public Instagram usernames such as natgeo or full profile URLs.
Maximum linked pages per creator	maxLinkedPagesPerProfile	Inspect up to this many public pages on the creator's linked website for emails and social links. Set to 0 for profile-only extraction.
Save profiles without a public email	includeNoContact	Save one truthful status row even when no public email is visible, so outreach lists preserve coverage and profile metadata.
Run time limit in seconds	runTimeSecs	Stop admitting new profiles before this shared run deadline. Use 30–270 seconds.
Proxy configuration	proxyConfiguration	Optional Apify proxy settings. Keep the default unless direct Instagram access is unavailable from your run region.

Who is it for?

• Influencer and creator partnerships teams building campaign shortlists.
• Agencies preparing personalized outreach and sponsorship prospecting.
• Brand researchers comparing public creator categories and audience sizes.
• Sales operations teams exporting verified source evidence into a CRM.
• Developers and AI agents that need structured Instagram creator leads.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: one small start charge per run and one tiered result charge for each saved creator row. Status rows are charged because they preserve requested-profile coverage and prevent repeated manual checks. See the live Instagram Creator Email Finder Pricing tab for the exact rates for your plan.

Tips and limits

• The maximum input is 100 profiles per run and linked-page inspection is capped at five pages per creator.
• Emails and phone numbers are returned only when publicly displayed; the Actor does not guess private contact details.
• Public pages can change, disappear, become private, or temporarily limit access. Missing optional fields are not fabricated.
• Keep includeNoContact enabled when you need a complete audit trail for every requested profile.
• Review personal data responsibly before adding it to outreach or automated messaging systems.

FAQ

Does it require an Instagram login?

No Instagram login input is required. The Actor works with publicly available profile and linked-site information.

Why is primaryEmail empty?

The creator may not publish an email, the profile may be private or unavailable, or the linked website may not expose one within the selected page limit. Check status and contactSourceUrls.

Can it process profile URLs and usernames together?

Yes. A single run can contain either format, and duplicate normalized usernames are processed once.

Can I schedule repeated lead checks?

Yes. Use Apify schedules, webhooks, API clients, or MCP workflows and compare collectedAt and status fields between runs.
