Instagram Email & Phone Scraper · Pay per Contact Found

Instagram email & phone scraper — pay per contact found

🆕 New: emails and phones written in the bio and links, plus WhatsApp. Tried it? Tell us in a review.

Paste usernames of businesses or creators and get the public email, phone, city, address and website from their Instagram profiles — in clean, separate columns ready for your CRM.

• 💸 Main price only when a contact is found — $2.00 per 1,000 contacts found, plus $0.30 per 1,000 profiles checked.
• 🔎 More contacts found — the Email, Call and WhatsApp buttons, plus emails and phones written in the bio (even name [at] brand [dot] com) and in mailto:, tel: and wa.me links.
• 🧹 Clean fields — the best contact in email and phone, every contact in emails and phones, and foundIn says where they came from. Phones as + and digits.
• 📍 Context for outreach — city, street address, zip, category, followers, website and bio links.
• 🧹 No duplicates — a username pasted twice is checked and charged once.
• 🔓 No login; usernames that don't exist are free.

Why this one

• 🔓 No Instagram login or cookies — you paste usernames; your own account is never involved.
• 🧾 Usernames that don't exist are free — they come back as rows with error: "not_found"; duplicates are never returned or charged.
• 🧯 Your budget is a hard stop — set Maximum cost per run and the run stops at your limit (the run summary says so).
• 📊 A summary you can check — every run saves a SUMMARY record: results, free rows, what was skipped and why.

Use it for

• B2B lead lists: public emails and phones of cafes, salons, gyms, shops and agencies.
• Influencer outreach: emails of creators in your niche — also the ones they only write in the bio.
• Pay for results: the main price only when a contact is actually found.

How to use

1. Paste usernames or links into the input, one per line.
2. Press Start — rows stream into the Output tab while the run goes.
3. Download them as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or get them through the API.

No input at hand? Press Start with an empty input — you get a 3-row sample.

Input

{
  "usernames": [
    "natgeo"
  ]
}

Output example (one row)

{
  "username": "examplecafe",
  "email": "hello@examplecafe.com",
  "phone": "+15125550100",
  "emails": [
    "hello@examplecafe.com",
    "events@examplecafe.com"
  ],
  "phones": [
    "+15125550100"
  ],
  "foundIn": [
    "bio",
    "button"
  ],
  "publicEmail": "hello@examplecafe.com",
  "publicPhone": "+1 512-555-0100",
  "whatsapp": null,
  "city": "Austin, Texas",
  "category": "Coffee shop",
  "followers": 12400,
  "contactFound": true
}

Each row has up to 25 fields — the Output tab describes every one of them. Fields Instagram doesn't show come as null, never as a fake 0.

Limits

• Only what the account shows publicly — contact buttons, bio and links; we never guess emails.
• Personal accounts rarely show contacts: for them you pay only the small check fee.
• A number in a bio can be anything — we skip years, dates and follower counts, but check a phone before calling it.

FAQ

Where do the contacts come from? From what each account shows publicly on Instagram: the Email, Call and WhatsApp buttons of business and creator accounts, plus emails and phone numbers written in the bio and in bio links. Never from outside databases, and we never guess emails — foundIn tells you where each row's contacts came from.

What will a run cost? $0.30 per 1,000 profiles checked plus $2.00 per 1,000 contacts found, on Starter. Example: 1,000 profiles where 300 show a contact cost $0.90.

Why no contact for some profiles? Some accounts show no contact anywhere — no buttons and nothing in the bio or links. You still get the profile row and pay only the small check fee.

Can I email these contacts? You're responsible for how you use them: follow GDPR and anti-spam rules such as CAN-SPAM, and contact people only for a legitimate reason.

Do I need an Instagram account or cookies? No. You only paste usernames, links or keywords. Nothing to log in, nothing to install, and your own Instagram account is never involved.

What am I charged for — and what's free? Only the events in the pricing table, plus $0.0005 per run. Rows with an error field are free, and duplicates are never returned or charged. Each run's SUMMARY record shows results and free rows.

Can I cap what a run costs? Yes. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options — the run stops at your limit and SUMMARY shows stoppedAtChargeLimit: true.

Can I use it from n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent? Yes, like any Apify Actor: REST API, webhooks, the n8n, Make and Zapier integrations, and the Apify MCP server for Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram? We only collect what public profiles show publicly. Results can include personal data such as names, usernames or public business contacts, which laws like GDPR protect — use the data for a legitimate purpose and ask a lawyer if unsure.
