Instagram Email Scraper — Business Contact Finder

Find the public email and phone behind any Instagram profile — from the bio, the link-in-bio page and the website it links to.

If you've ever built an outreach list from Instagram, you know the routine: open a profile, squint at the bio, tap the Linktree, open the website, hunt for a contact page, copy the email into a sheet… and repeat that two hundred times. Half the profiles hide the email one click deeper than you'd expect, and the other half don't list one at all.

We had the same list to build, so we made this for ourselves first — and now we're sharing it. Paste usernames (or type a niche and a city, like wedding photographer london), and for every profile it reads the bio, the WhatsApp and contact links, opens the link-in-bio page and the website, and brings back every public email and phone it finds — each one tagged with where it was found. No login, no cookies, no Instagram account at risk.

Who it's for

• Agencies and freelancers prospecting local businesses: "which yoga studios in Austin have an email I can write to?"
• Influencer and partnership teams building creator lists: "what's the collab email of these 300 creators?"
• Sales teams enriching a list of brand handles with website, category, followers and contact.
• AI agents that need a flat, reliable contact row per handle — one call, dataset only.

What you get per profile

username, fullName, category, isBusiness, followers, following, posts, biography, email (best one), emails (all), emailSources (each email with its source: bio, link-in-bio, website, instagram-contact or search-snippet, plus the page it came from), phone / phones (bio, WhatsApp link, website), externalUrl, bioLinks, linkInBioUrl, website, websiteDomain, whatsapp, tiktok, youtube, facebook, twitter, linkedin, isVerified, isPrivate, discoveredBy and profileUrl.

Two table views are built in: Contacts (the lead list) and Profiles (bio, links and audience).

Options

• Instagram profiles — usernames, @handles or profile links. A post or reel link works too (its author is checked).
• Find profiles by keyword — a niche + place per line (wedding photographer london). A web search (site:instagram.com) finds matching Instagram profiles; set how many per keyword. Prefer profiles that show an email (on by default) nudges the search toward profiles with an email in their bio.
• Scan the link-in-bio page and website — opens Linktree / Beacons / Stan-style pages and the linked website (home, contact and about pages) for emails and phones. This is where most business emails are. Off = bio and contact links only (faster, cheaper).
• Only profiles with an email — skip (and don't pay for) profiles where nothing was found.
• Keep emails quoted by the search engine — for keyword searches, keep emails the result snippet shows from the profile or its posts.

How to set it up

1. Paste a few usernames, or a keyword like bakery brooklyn.
2. Leave Scan the link-in-bio page and website on.
3. Click Start. Rows arrive as each profile finishes; download them as CSV, Excel or JSON.

And that's it.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.002 per profile delivered, plus $0.004 when at least one email is found for it (so a profile with an email costs $0.006, a profile without one $0.002). Profiles that don't exist or can't be read are free.

Tip: turn on Only profiles with an email when you only want contactable leads — you pay only for rows with an email.

Notes

• What "email" means here. Instagram hides the Email contact button from logged-out visitors, and this Actor never logs in. It collects the emails a profile publishes — in its bio, on its link-in-bio page, on its website, or in Google's snippet of it — and says where each one came from. The businessEmail column is filled only on the rare profiles where Instagram still shows that contact publicly.
• What to expect. In our tests with the website scan on, we found at least one public email for about 7 in 10 small-business profiles found by keyword and 4 in 10 big brands and creators. Most come from the website; bios alone rarely have one.
• For some business categories Instagram's app API fails; those profiles are read from the public profile page instead (bio, links, followers and following — category and posts may then be empty).
• Only publicly available data is collected. You are responsible for using it in line with Instagram's terms and privacy laws such as GDPR and CAN-SPAM.
• Missing a field or a source? Open an issue in the Issues tab — we read them and add what's asked for.
