Social Media Followers Scraper

Track follower and subscriber counts across 8 social media platforms in a single run — no coding, no switching between tools.

Most scrapers on the Apify Store only cover one platform at a time. This actor covers all of them together: Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, Twitter/X, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn.

Proxy Setup

Social media platforms block direct requests, so a proxy is required for this actor to work.

In the Input tab, scroll to Proxy Configuration → select Apify Proxy → click Use Apify Proxy.

For Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Reddit, residential proxies give better results because these platforms have stronger bot detection. You can select the RESIDENTIAL proxy group inside Apify Proxy settings.

Pricing

$5 per 1,000 profiles scraped ($0.005 per profile).

Single-platform scrapers on the store charge $0.005–$0.01 per profile — this actor covers all 8 platforms at the lower end of that range, with no need to buy and run multiple actors separately.

Profiles scraped	Cost
10	~$0.05
100	~$0.50
1,000	~$5.00

Proxy data transfer is billed separately by Apify if you use Apify Proxy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fill in all platforms? No. Fill in only the platforms you care about — the rest are ignored.

What happens if a profile is private or doesn't exist? The actor returns null for that profile's metrics and includes an error description in the result. It does not crash — the rest of your list continues processing.

How fresh is the data? Data is scraped live every time you run the actor. There is no caching.

Can I export results to a spreadsheet? Yes. After the run completes, go to the Storage tab → Dataset → click Export → choose CSV or Excel.
