Why Use This Instead of the Profile Scraper?

• Contact-focused output — lighter record, no post data, built for CRM imports
• onlyWithContact filter — skip and don't charge for profiles with no contact info
• Dual extraction paths — structured business fields + bio regex both run
• Provider-backed — ScrapeCreators primary, SociaVault fallback, no login or cookies ever

Pricing

Event	Price
contact-found (has email or phone)	$0.003
profile-no-contact (reached, no contact)	$0.001
apify-actor-start	$0.00005

Use onlyWithContact: true to avoid the $0.001 charge on contactless profiles.

Builder's Notes

Business and creator accounts on Instagram expose business_email and business_phone_number in Instagram's public web profile JSON. This actor checks those structured fields first, then falls back to bio regex parsing — extracting any email or phone text that appears in the biography or linked URLs. GaryVee, for example, puts his text number directly in his bio; the regex picks it up.

ScrapeCreators resolves most profiles within 1–2 seconds cookieless. SociaVault is wired as Tier-2 for redundancy. The native CheerioCrawler (with Apify Residential proxy) is Tier-3 for any unresolved handles.

Legal

This actor scrapes only public, non-logged-in Instagram profile data. It does not access DMs, private profiles, followers lists, or any login-gated content. Use the collected data in compliance with Instagram's Terms of Service and applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA). The actor author assumes no responsibility for downstream use of scraped data.
