🎯 Public Instagram profiles for lead research
For marketers, agencies, researchers, and developers, this Actor collects public Instagram profiles from usernames, profile URLs, or one keyword query. No buyer-supplied Instagram credentials are needed. It returns profile identity, bios, audience counts, business status, public links, public contact fields, and recent post URLs when Instagram provides them, so you can build a structured profile list for research and lead work.
- Review public contact fields on Instagram profiles with Instagram Contact Scraper.
- Build a list of public Instagram profiles for outreach research with Instagram Lead Generation Scraper.
- Collect profile identity and audience counts with Instagram Profile Lead Scraper Tool.
- Check specific usernames or profile URLs with Instagram Profile Lead Scraper.
- Discover public profiles from one keyword with Instagram Lead Scraper.
📋 Instagram profile rows
Each saved row represents one public Instagram profile with the required profile URL and username. The row can also include a public user ID, display name, biography, audience counts, account status, business category, external links, public email addresses, public phone numbers, and recent public post URLs when Instagram provides them.
If the same profile is submitted more than once, the Actor saves the first eligible occurrence and ignores later duplicate references. The saved row describes that first match only.
▶️ Check public Instagram profiles
- Choose Profile URLs or usernames to check specific public profiles, or choose Keyword to discover profiles from one search.
- Add one or more profile references, or enter one keyword query.
- For a Keyword run, optionally set Maximum profiles. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
- Start the run and open the dataset link in the output.
The Actor reads public Instagram information only. Available fields can differ between profiles, and missing values are not invented.

❓ FAQ
Can I run more than one keyword search at once?
No. Choose Keyword and enter one query per run. For several queries, start separate runs.
What happens if I submit the same profile more than once?
The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence immediately and ignores later duplicate references. The saved row describes that first match only.
Will every profile have an email or phone number?
No. These fields contain only contact details that the profile exposes publicly, so they may be empty.
Why is an optional field missing or empty?
Instagram does not expose the same public fields for every profile. The Actor leaves unavailable values empty rather than inventing them.
Can it access private profile content?
No. The Actor collects public profile information only. It can return a privacy status when Instagram exposes that status.
Does it collect follower lists, following lists, or full posts?
No. It returns follower, following, and post counts plus recent post references when available. It does not collect relationship lists or full post and media data.
Is this the official Instagram API?
No. This is an Apify Actor for public Instagram profile collection and normalized dataset rows. It does not promise every capability of an official API.
