You get structured data for easy integration and analysis.

⌨️ Simple Inputs

Provide your search queries and optionally limit the number of accounts per search:

{
  "searches": [
    "travel blogger",
    "sustainable fashion NYC",
    "local coffee shops"
  ],
  "maxAccounts": 100
}

• searches (required): An array of strings, where each string is a search query.
• maxAccounts (optional): The maximum number of accounts to retrieve for each search query. Defaults to fetching all available results if not specified.

💵 Pricing

This actor is designed for users on a paid Apify plan. No results will be returned if you're on a free plan. Upgrade here: Apify Pricing

Example: 1 run with 1,000 accounts returned: $0.001 (start run) + $0.001 * 1,000 (cost per account) = $1.001

Use the "Maximum cost per run" input (a standard Apify platform feature) to cap your spending and stay in control.

🧠 Why It Works

Where you are: Manually sifting through Instagram or using clunky tools. Where you want to be: Quickly getting lists of relevant Instagram accounts based on your criteria. The obstacle: Time-consuming manual searches, tools requiring logins, or unreliable data.

This tool streamlines account discovery by:

• Using targeted keyword searches.
• Leveraging a dedicated API (HikerAPI) for account data.
• Providing structured output for easy use.
