Instagram Likers Filter - Extract Qualified Engaged Audiences 2026

Scrape AND filter users who liked any Instagram post. Unlike basic scrapers that dump thousands of random profiles, this Actor lets you extract only the engaged users who match YOUR criteria.

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.

Why Use Filtered Liker Scraping?

Basic scraper: Returns ALL likers (bots, inactive accounts, irrelevant profiles)

This Actor: Returns ONLY likers matching your filters (engaged users with real value)

Why Likers Are Valuable

Users who like a post have:

• Shown explicit interest in the content/product/topic
• Engaged voluntarily (not just scrolling past)
• Demonstrated relevance to your niche
• Higher conversion potential than cold audiences

Important: Processing Time

Filtered scraping takes longer than basic scraping because:

1. First, we scrape all likers from the target post(s)
2. Then, we enrich EACH user with their full profile data
3. Finally, we apply your filters to return only matching users

Scale	First Results	Complete Results
1 post, 1000 likers	12-18 min	25-40 min
3 posts, 3000 likers	20-30 min	45-70 min
5+ posts, 5000+ likers	30-45 min	75-120 min

Your data is safe! Streaming mode saves filtered results to the dataset every 60 seconds.

Pro Tips

Scrape Competitor Product Posts

Find posts where competitors showcase products similar to yours. Users who liked those posts are pre-qualified prospects interested in your category.

Combine Multiple Posts

Scrape likers from 3-5 related posts to build a larger audience. Users who liked multiple posts show even stronger interest.

Target Engagement-Heavy Posts

Posts with thousands of likes give you more data to filter from. Look for posts with 5,000+ likes for best results.

Streaming Mode

• Download - JSON / CSV / Excel files

FAQ

How are likers different from followers for lead gen?

Likers expressed interest in SPECIFIC content, while followers show general interest in an account. Likers on a product post are more likely to be interested in that product than random followers.

Why does filtered scraping take longer?

To apply filters like "minFollowers" or "hasEmail", we need to fetch the full profile of each liker. This enrichment step is what enables precise targeting but requires additional processing time.

Can I scrape likers from private posts?

No. Only public posts can be scraped.

What's the maximum number of likers I can scrape?

Instagram limits liker visibility on posts with very high engagement. For posts with 100k+ likes, you may only be able to access a portion of the full liker list.

Can I deduplicate across multiple posts?

Yes, the Actor automatically deduplicates users who liked multiple posts in your input list.
