Scrape Instagram profile data and profile statistics from public Instagram pages with an Apify Actor.
This actor focuses on profiles (not posts) and returns normalized profile fields (identity, stats, and account flags),
plus additional raw Instagram profile metadata when available, along with optional previews like latest_posts
and discovery via related_profiles.
What this actor can do
- Scrape Instagram profile stats: followers, following, number of posts
- Get key profile attributes: verified/private flags, profile pictures, bio, external links, and counts
- Keep additional raw profile metadata from Instagram when available in the public payload
- Optionally scrape a linked Facebook profile into
fb_profilewhenscrapeFacebookProfileis enabled - Return lightweight latest posts metadata from the feed endpoint for quick previews
- Return a list of related profiles from
Accounts you might likewhen that enrichment succeeds - Accept both usernames and profile URLs
Want to get other details from Instagram?
This actor is optimized for profiles (not full post feeds). If you want to scrape other Instagram data, use a dedicated scraper for that specific data type.

What data can I scrape from Instagram profiles?
Using this Instagram Profile API, you can extract both normalized fields and additional Instagram profile metadata (when available on the public profile):
| Category | Fields | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Identity & IDs | pk, id, pk_id, username, full_name, url | Basic profile identifiers returned by Instagram, plus the canonical profile URL built by the actor. |
| Profile media & links | profile_pic_url, profile_pic_url_hd, profile_pic_id, has_profile_pic, profile_pic_genai_tool_info[], biography, contact_email, bio_links[], external_url, external_url_linkshimmed, pronouns[] | Profile picture fields (including HD URL mapped from hd_profile_pic_url_info), profile bio text, extracted contact email, profile links, and external website fields returned by the profile page enrichment query. external_url_linkshimmed is passed through from Instagram's external_lynx_url when present. Each bio_links[] item may include fields such as image_url, is_pinned, link_type, lynx_url, media_accent_color_hex, media_type, title, url, and creation_source. profile_pic_genai_tool_info[] is a raw Instagram array and is often empty. |
| Facebook enrichment | fb_profile | Optional Facebook profile lookup from one detected profile URL in external_url, bio_links, fb_profile_biolink, biography, or full_name when scrapeFacebookProfile is enabled. The nested payload includes url, status, message, bio, profile_type, profile_name, page_id, counts, and other status fields when available. |
| Counts & activity | followers, following, post_count, total_clips_count, has_any_clips, mutual_followers_count, latest_reel_media, live_broadcast_visibility, live_broadcast_id | High-level counts for analysis, monitoring, and profile summaries, plus activity hints exposed by Instagram. post_count is parsed from the public profile page HTML og:description meta tag (for example, <meta property="og:description" content="42M Followers, 1,455 Following, 14K Posts - …">). Instagram abbreviates counts above ~10k in that tag (14K, 1.2M, and so on), so values are approximate rather than exact. In rare edge cases the tag may be missing or unparseable and post_count is emitted as null. has_any_clips is derived from total_clips_count when available. latest_reel_media, live_broadcast_visibility, and live_broadcast_id are raw pass-through fields and are commonly null. |
| Account flags & capabilities | is_private, is_verified, show_text_post_app_badge, text_post_app_badge_label, is_active_on_text_post_app, is_unpublished, is_memorialized, is_coppa_enforced, is_regulated_c18, account_type, is_business, is_professional_account, category, should_show_category, is_embeds_disabled, is_cannes, has_story_archive | Visibility, verification, account-type, audience-safety, and account-status fields from the profile page enrichment query. These fields are always emitted on found profiles, using explicit null when Instagram does not return a value (except category, which may be an empty string). |
| Profile context & relationship hints | linked_fb_info, profile_context_links_with_user_ids, profile_context_facepile_users, supervision_info, has_chaining | Extra profile-context blocks returned by Instagram for social graph, supervision, or related-surface hints. These are pass-through fields and are often null on public profile pages. |
| Business & location | address_street, city_name, zip | Optional business/contact location metadata when Instagram exposes it on the public profile. These fields are usually null for non-business accounts. |
| Transparency & badges | account_badges[], show_account_transparency_details, transparency_label, transparency_product, hide_creator_marketplace_badge, is_ring_creator, show_ring_award | Transparency, badge, and creator-surface metadata exposed by Instagram. These are stable pass-through fields when present; arrays such as account_badges[] are emitted as [] when empty. |
| Latest posts | latest_posts[] | Raw latest-post node items from Instagram's current posts response, with only a small set of output-oriented cleanup: caption is flattened to caption.text, hashtags and mentions are derived from that caption text, taken_at is exposed as the original timestamp via taken_at_timestamp, and the human-readable ISO time is emitted as taken_at. The actor also adds url and video_duration when they can be determined from the raw payload. Other nested structures such as user, carousel_media, clips_metadata, coauthor_producers, timeline_pinned_user_ids, and video_versions are preserved when Instagram returns them. |
| Related profiles | related_profiles[] | Suggested accounts from the Accounts you might like enrichment: id, username, full_name, is_verified, profile_pic_url. When enabled, the actor returns the full related-profiles list Instagram exposes for that profile. On final enrichment failure, the actor emits [] and logs a warning instead of failing the whole profile. |
| Scrape metadata | crawled_at, ig_status | Timestamp of the scrape and a simple status indicator. ig_status is ok when profile data is returned, not_found when the profile does not exist or is restricted, and invalid_input when an input username or profile URL is rejected before scraping starts. |
Notes:
- Field availability depends on what Instagram returns for a given profile (especially for private accounts).
- Some fields are normalized by the actor (
followers,following), while other raw Instagram profile fields may still be passed through when present. - Raw Instagram metadata can change over time, so downstream consumers should treat optional fields as non-guaranteed.
post_countis parsed from the public profile page HTMLog:descriptionmeta tag. Instagram abbreviates counts above ~10k in that tag (for example,14K Postsinstead of an exact number), so values should be treated as approximate. In extremely rare cases the tag may be missing or unparseable after retries, andpost_countis emitted asnull.contact_emailis extracted frombiographyorfull_namewhen an email address is present on a found profile, and isnullotherwise.fb_profileisnullwhen the toggle is disabled or no Facebook profile URL is found. If a Facebook lookup fails after retries, the actor returnsfb_profile.status = "error"orfb_profile.status = "not_found"instead of throwing. Successfulfb_profilepayloads includebioinstead of the olderintroname.latest_posts[]is intentionally not normalized into a compatibility schema. Downstream consumers should treat it as the current raw latest-post node shape, aside from the flattenedcaption, the addedhashtags/mentions, thetaken_at_timestamp+ human-readabletaken_atpairing, and the addedurl/video_durationconvenience fields.- The actor currently requests 10 latest posts for paying users and 5 latest posts for non-paying users when latest-post enrichment is enabled.
Typical use cases
- Influencer discovery and enrichment (profile stats, verification, public profile metadata)
- Competitor monitoring (track follower growth over time)
- Lead enrichment for sales/marketing (public business profiles)
- Content research (quick look at latest post captions/engagement)
Input
Configure these fields in the Actor’s Input tab in the Apify Console:
instagramUsernames (required)
A list of Instagram usernames or profile URLs you want to scrape.
Examples:
googlehttps://www.instagram.com/google/
scrapeFacebookProfile (optional)
When enabled, the actor looks for one Facebook profile URL in this order: external_url, bio_links, fb_profile_biolink, biography, then full_name.
In the current public payload model, bio_links is usually the main place where profile links are exposed.
The nested fb_profile payload includes url, status, message, bio, profile_name, page_id, followers, following, is_business_page_active, category_name, and profile_type when available.
skipLatestPosts (optional, default: true)
Skips building latest_posts[].
If latest_posts is not required for your use case, keeping this enabled helps speed up scraping.
skipRelatedProfiles (optional, default: true)
If related_profiles is not required for your use case, keeping this enabled helps speed up scraping.
When enabled, the actor returns the full related_profiles list Instagram exposes.
Quick start (Apify Console)
- Add one or more values to
instagramUsernames(either usernames likenypostor URLs likehttps://www.instagram.com/google/). - Adjust
retriesonly if you hit temporary errors. - Click Run → open the Dataset tab to view/export results (JSON, CSV, Excel, etc.).
Invalid usernames or malformed profile URLs are still emitted to the dataset with ig_status: "invalid_input", instagramUsername, and a reminder message ("Invalid Instagram username or profile URL"), and they omit crawled_at because they are rejected before scraping continues.
This makes the actor usable as an Instagram profile scraping API, because datasets can be consumed programmatically via Apify’s API.
Example input
{"instagramUsernames": ["kevinhart4real"],"scrapeFacebookProfile": true,"skipLatestPosts": false,"skipRelatedProfiles": false}
Example output
Example dataset item when a profile is found. This sample is abridged from a real dataset item generated with
skipLatestPosts: false and skipRelatedProfiles: false.

Example dataset item when a profile is not found:
{"username": "11","ig_status": "not_found","message": "Profile not found or restricted","url": "https://www.instagram.com/11/","crawled_at": "2026-02-06T08:03:20.522Z"}
Here, ig_status: "not_found" means Instagram did not return profile data for that username because the profile does not exist or access to it is restricted.
