Instagram Profile Stats Scraper gets public data for any list of Instagram accounts in bulk, without logging in: followers, following, number of posts, bio, external link, category, verified and business status, plus the 12 latest posts with likes and comments and an engagement rate. It is an Instagram profile scraper for agencies, brands and analysts who vet influencers or track accounts over time. Use it as an Instagram follower count checker or to export Instagram profile data to Excel, CSV or JSON.

What does Instagram Profile Stats Scraper do?

You give it a list of Instagram accounts. For each one, the scraper loads the public profile data that Instagram shows to a logged-out visitor and saves one row per profile in a dataset.

It accepts any of these forms, mixed in the same list:

Input form	Example
Username	nasa
Username with @	@nike
Profile URL	https://www.instagram.com/nasa/

Every line is turned into a lowercase username and duplicates are removed, so NASA, @nasa and https://www.instagram.com/nasa/ count as one profile.

Each row holds the account's numbers (followers, following, posts), its identity (username, full name, user ID, profile picture), its bio, external link and category, and flags for verified, business, professional and private accounts. By default it also includes the latest posts shown on the profile, each with caption, likes, comments, video views, date and image, and an engagement rate computed from them. You do not need an Instagram account, cookies or an API key.

How to use Instagram Profile Stats Scraper

1. Open Instagram Profile Stats Scraper in Apify Console (sign in or create a free Apify account).
2. In Profiles, paste usernames (with or without @) or profile URLs, one per line. Hundreds of lines are fine.
3. Keep Include latest posts on to get the 12 latest posts and the engagement rate data, or turn it off for a lighter table.
4. Leave Proxy on the default Apify Proxy unless you have a reason to change it.
5. Click Start. The log shows how many profiles were returned.
6. Open the Output tab to see the table, then click Export to download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.
7. Optional: save the input as a task and add a schedule (for example weekly) to track how the same profiles grow.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
profiles	array of strings	["@nike", "https://www.instagram.com/nasa/"]	Instagram usernames (with or without @) or profile URLs.
includeLatestPosts	boolean	true	Adds the latest posts (up to 12) with likes, comments and captions.
proxy	object	{"useApifyProxy": true}	Apify Proxy settings.

There is no "max results" setting: each profile in the list returns exactly one row (the profile, or an error row). A plain username can be up to 30 characters of letters, numbers, underscores and dots. Lines that are not a username or an instagram.com/ link produce no row.

Example input:

{
  "profiles": [
    "@nike",
    "natgeo",
    "https://www.instagram.com/nasa/"
  ],
  "includeLatestPosts": true,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output example

    }

An error row looks like this and is not charged:

{
  "input": "this.profile.does.not.exist",
  "error": "Profile not found",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-08T20:13:10.000Z"
}

How much does it cost?

Instagram Profile Stats Scraper uses pay per event pricing. You pay $1.50 per 1,000 profiles returned ($0.0015 per profile, latest posts included) on the Free plan. Platform usage (compute and proxy) is included in that price.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 profiles
Free	$1.50
Bronze (10% off)	$1.35
Silver (20% off)	$1.20
Gold and higher (30% off)	$1.05

Worked examples on the Free plan:

• 200 influencer profiles to vet for a campaign = $0.30
• 10,000 profiles from a creator database = $15.00
• 500 profiles tracked every week for a year = 26,000 profiles = $39.00 ($27.30 on Gold)

What you are not charged for:

• Error rows ("Profile not found" or "Could not load profile").
• Retries. A profile that needs several tries is charged once, only if it is returned.
• Duplicate lines and lines that are not valid usernames or profile URLs.
• The latest posts. They come inside the profile row at no extra cost.

Use cases

• Influencer vetting. Check followers, the verified badge and the engagement rate before you contact a creator. Low engagement on a big audience is a warning sign.
• Growth tracking. Run the same list on a schedule and chart followers and posts over time using scrapedAt.
• Competitor benchmarking. Compare brand accounts in your niche by audience size, posting volume and engagement on their latest posts.
• Lead list enrichment. Add Instagram audience size, bio link and category to a list of brands or creators you already have.
• Business account checks. See which accounts are business or professional accounts and which category they chose.
• List cleaning. Find usernames that no longer exist; they come back as "Profile not found".
• Content snapshot. Get the captions, dates and numbers of each account's latest posts in the same run.

Tips and limits

• One row per profile. The latest posts are capped at what the profile page shows (up to 12). For more posts per profile, with date filter and reels views, use Instagram Posts Scraper.
• Pinned posts count. The latest posts are the first posts Instagram shows on the profile, pinned posts included, so engagementRate includes them too.
• How engagement rate works. It is the sum of likes and comments of the latest posts, divided by the number of those posts, divided by followers, times 100, rounded to 2 decimals. It is null when there are no posts or no followers. It is still filled when includeLatestPosts is off.
• Private profiles. A private account is not an error: you get the public header data (counts, bio) with isPrivate set to true. Instagram does not show its posts to logged-out visitors, so expect latestPosts to be empty and engagementRate to be null.
• Retries. Each profile gets up to 8 tries with a 30-second timeout. Instagram refuses some profiles from datacenter IPs, so after a few fresh IPs the scraper switches to residential IPs when they are available. "Could not load profile" means all tries failed; run those usernames again later.
• Profiles are processed one at a time. A long list simply takes longer. You can split a very large list into several runs.
• Image links expire. profilePic and displayUrl are temporary Instagram CDN links. Download the pictures soon if you need to keep them.
• No emails or phone numbers. There are no contact fields. If a creator wrote an email in the bio, you will see it in biography.

Use it from the API, Python or JavaScript

JavaScript (Node.js) with the official apify-client package:

const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const input = { profiles: ['@nike', 'https://www.instagram.com/nasa/'], includeLatestPosts: true };

(async () => {
    const run = await client.actor('juliob.rangel/instagram-profile-stats').call(input);
    const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
    console.log(items);
})();

Python with the official apify-client package:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_TOKEN')
run_input = {'profiles': ['nasa', 'natgeo'], 'includeLatestPosts': False}

run = client.actor('juliob.rangel/instagram-profile-stats').call(run_input=run_input)
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
for item in items:
    print(item.get('username'), item.get('followers'), item.get('engagementRate'))

The scraper also works with Make, Zapier and n8n, can export results to Google Sheets, can call your webhook when a run finishes, and can be used by AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need an Instagram login, cookies or an API key?

No. The scraper reads public profile data without logging in. You only need an Apify account to run it.

Can I export Instagram profile stats to Excel or CSV?

Yes. After the run, open the Output tab and export the dataset as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML, or read it through the API.

How many profiles can I scrape in one run?

There is no fixed cap in the scraper. Each line in profiles returns one row, and profiles are fetched one after another, so bigger lists take longer.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram profiles?

The scraper only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for complying with Instagram's terms and with privacy laws such as GDPR and LGPD. Profiles of private individuals are personal data, so you need a legitimate reason to collect and use them.

Why did I get a row with an error field?

"Profile not found" means Instagram reported that the account does not exist (deleted, renamed or misspelled). "Could not load profile" means Instagram did not return the profile after 8 tries. Error rows are not charged.

How is the engagement rate calculated?

Average of likes plus comments over the latest posts, divided by followers, in percent. For example, 0.16 means each recent post gets interactions equal to 0.16% of the follower count.

Can I get followers lists or stories?

No. The scraper returns profile stats and the latest posts only. It does not list followers, following accounts, stories or highlights.
