Instagram Profile Scraper 👤

The cheapest Instagram profile scraper on Apify — just $0.49 per 1,000 results.

Extract public Instagram profile data at scale, with no login and no personal data. Give it usernames (or profile URLs) and get clean, structured JSON back: name, bio, follower/following/post counts, verification and business flags, external links, profile picture, and recent posts.

Great for influencer discovery, competitor tracking, audience research, lead lists, and feeding profiles into your own dashboards or AI workflows.

• Fast & reliable. Rotating residential IPs with automatic retry, so runs don't stall on rate limits.
