Instagram Commenters to Emails - Extract Engaged Lead Contacts 2026

Extract business emails from users who commented on Instagram posts. Commenters are warm leads - they've already shown interest by taking time to engage. Higher conversion rates guaranteed.

No Login Required

Your Instagram account stays safe. This Actor:

• Does NOT require your Instagram login or cookies
• Uses our own infrastructure to fetch data
• Zero risk of account suspension for you
• Works with any public Instagram profile

Unlike browser extensions or tools that use your account, we handle all scraping server-side. Your credentials are never needed.

Important: Processing Time

This Actor performs two operations:

1. First, it scrapes commenters from the specified posts
2. Then, it extracts emails from each commenter's profile

Scale	First Results	Complete Results
100 commenters	5-10 min	10-15 min
500 commenters	10-20 min	25-40 min
1,000 commenters	15-25 min	40-60 min
5,000+ commenters	25-40 min	90-180+ min

Why does it take time?

• Each commenter's profile must be visited individually
• Instagram rate limits require careful request pacing
• We validate emails to ensure quality results

Your data is protected! Streaming mode saves results every 60 seconds.

What You Get

For each commenter with extractable contact info:

• Email address (from bio or business contact)
• Phone number (if available)
• Username and user ID
• Full name
• Comment text (see what they said!)
• Follower count
• Account type (business/creator/personal)
• Business category
• Source post URL

Typical email extraction rate: 5-15% of commenters have public business emails.

FAQ

Why are commenters better leads than followers?

Commenters took an action. They stopped scrolling, read the content, and wrote something. This shows much higher intent than just following an account.

Can I filter comments by keywords?

The Actor extracts all commenters, but you can filter the output by commentText to find specific buying signals.

Why don't all commenters have emails?

Only business and creator accounts with public contact info have extractable emails. Many commenters are personal accounts.

What posts should I target?

Posts with high engagement and buying intent. Product posts, launches, and promotional content tend to attract potential customers.

Is this GDPR compliant?

This Actor extracts publicly available business contact information. Users are responsible for compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Can I scrape comments from private accounts?

No. Only public posts and accounts can be scraped.
