## Changelog

### 2026-11-07

#### Profiles found again

Since November 4, Instagram has answered "page not found" for every profile asked for the usual way, real or not, so runs came back empty. Profiles are found again, with followers, bio, links and related profiles. A username that really doesn't exist is told apart in seconds and doesn't fail the run.

### 2026-10-18

#### Similar profiles for big accounts

Discovery mode now finds similar profiles for large brands and public figures too, where Instagram shows logged-out visitors only part of the profile.

#### Fewer failed runs

A list whose profiles don't exist or can't be seen now finishes cleanly, with the reason, instead of showing an error.

### 2026-10-17

#### Lower price

$1 per 1,000 profiles, down from $1.50.

### 2026-10-16

#### Pricing set

$1.50 per 1,000 profiles. Profiles that fail are free.

### 2026-10-13

#### Launched

Paste Instagram usernames or profile links and get followers, bio, bio links, category, the 12 latest posts, engagement rate and similar profiles. No Instagram account needed.
