Instagram Account Age Checker

🔎 See How Old an Instagram Account Is

Brand-safety reviewers, creator-vetting teams, and outreach analysts can check Instagram account age from a list of usernames, @handles, or profile URLs. Each successful account row includes a month-level creation estimate, age in whole months, confidence, evidence, account identity, and available public profile basics. Use these fields to sort and review accounts without an Instagram login or cookies.

📅 Get a Month-Level Account Age

Row contents

Each successful dataset row has an account object for the canonical username, stable user ID, and public profile URL. The ageEstimate object gives the estimated creation month in YYYY-MM format, the estimated age in whole months, a confidence level, and the source-backed evidence used. The optional profile object contains public display, verification, privacy, follower, following, and post details when Instagram exposes them.

The estimate is month-level. It does not promise an exact creation day or timestamp.
