Instagram Location to Emails - Geo-Targeted Lead Extraction 2026

Extract business emails from users posting at specific Instagram locations. Build geo-targeted email lists for local marketing, event promotion, and regional business outreach.

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 users posting at your target locations
2. Then, it extracts emails from each user's profile

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

Why does it take time?

• Each user'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 user with extractable contact info:

• Email address (from bio or business contact)
• Phone number (if available)
• Username and user ID
• Full name
• Follower count
• Account type (business/creator/personal)
• Business category
• Source location ID

Typical email extraction rate: 10-20% of location users have public business emails. Business venues and conference locations yield higher rates.

Why Target Locations?

Location-based targeting is powerful for:

• Local businesses - Reach people in your area

FAQ

How do I find location IDs?

Search for the location on Instagram, click on it, and copy the numeric ID from the URL (e.g., instagram.com/explore/locations/[ID]/).

Why target locations instead of hashtags?

Locations provide geographic targeting. Users posting at a specific gym, restaurant, or event venue are physically present there - valuable for local businesses.

Why don't all users have emails?

Only business and creator accounts with public contact info have extractable emails. Personal accounts typically don't expose email addresses.

Can I target multiple locations?

Yes! Pass an array of location IDs to scrape users from all of them in one run.

What's the typical email extraction rate?

For business-oriented locations (conferences, coworking spaces), expect 15-25%. Tourist spots have lower rates (5-10%).

Is this GDPR compliant?

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