profilePic	string	Full-resolution avatar URL.
verified	boolean	Verified badge.
private	boolean	Whether the account is private.
followers	number	Follower count.

How to scrape Instagram profiles {#how-to}

1. Open the Instagram Profile Scraper on Apify.
2. Add accounts to Instagram usernames — natgeo, @nasa, or https://www.instagram.com/nike/ all work.
3. (Optional) Set Max profiles to cap the run.
4. Click ▶ Start.
5. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or fetch through the API.

No login, no cookies, no proxy configuration. Start with one input to see the output shape, then scale the same run — the fields stay identical, so code written against a test run keeps working.

---

Input example {#input-example}

{
  "usernames": [
    "natgeo",
    "nasa",
    "nike"
  ],
  "resultsLimit": 100
}

• usernames — usernames, @handles, or full profile URLs.
• resultsLimit — hard cap on profiles returned per run.

How much will it cost? {#pricing}

Simple, predictable pay-per-result pricing — you pay for the profiles you actually receive, not for compute time.

• 💸 Pay per profile — budget is just profiles × rate, so you can estimate spend up front.
• 📉 Volume discounts — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Apify plans get progressively lower rates.
• 🆓 Free to try — new Apify accounts include monthly free usage, so your first run costs nothing.
• 🚫 No hidden fees — no proxy add-on, no per-request API charge, no minimum spend.

See the live rate on the Apify store page.

---

Tips {#tips}

• 🆔 Store userId, not the handle. Usernames change; the numeric ID does not.
• 🔒 Filter on private first to avoid queueing post runs that cannot return anything.
• 🧮 Compute engagement rate properly — pull posts with the Instagram Post Scraper and divide average likes by followers.
• 🏷️ Segment with businessCategory to split a big influencer list into niches automatically.
• ⏰ Schedule a daily run on a fixed list to build a follower-growth time series.
• 🔗 externalUrl is the real destination — great for finding a creator's shop, Linktree, or site.

Use the data with AI agents (MCP) {#mcp}

The Instagram Profile Scraper is available through the Apify MCP server, so AI assistants can call it as a tool and pull Instagram profiles on demand.

• 🧩 Claude — add the Apify MCP server and let Claude fetch and analyse the data.
• 🤖 ChatGPT — use the actor as a tool inside research and reporting workflows.
• 🖊️ Cursor — pull structured results straight into your coding sessions.

Common AI-agent recipes:

• 🔎 Account vetting — "is @example real and established? check posts, verification, and privacy."
• 📊 Audience sizing — "rank these 20 accounts by followers and give me a table."
• 🗂️ Directory building — "collect bios and external links, then group these accounts by category."
• 📈 Growth tracking — "compare today's follower counts with last week's numbers."

---

Integrations & API {#integrations}

FAQ {#faq}

Can I get the follower list itself?

Not with this actor — it returns counts. Use the Instagram Followers Scraper to export the accounts themselves.

Can I also get the account's posts?

Yes, with the Instagram Post Scraper or Reel Scraper. This actor is profile-only by design so you are not billed for posts you did not ask for.

How many profiles can I scrape in one run?

As many as you queue. Use Max profiles if you want to cap a run deliberately.

Is the avatar full resolution?

Yes. profilePic is the full-size image, not the small thumbnail.

Do I need an Instagram account, login, cookies, or API key?

No. There is no login, no cookies, no Instagram Graph API app, no app review, and no access token. Paste your input and run.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram?

The actor collects only publicly available data — the same content any visitor can see without logging in. It never logs in and never accesses private accounts. You are responsible for compliant use: if the data contains personal data, follow GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable regulations, and respect Instagram's terms.

Can I scrape private accounts?

No. Private accounts are reported in the run log and skipped. The actor never bypasses access controls.

Do I need proxies?

No. Proxy handling is built in and managed for you — nothing to configure or supply.

Can I export the results to CSV, Excel, or JSON?

Yes. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Console, or use the API format parameter.

Can I use it with the Apify API?

Yes — the sync and async endpoints are shown above.

Is there an MCP server for AI agents?

Yes. The actor is exposed through the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can call it as a tool.

Can I schedule runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules or trigger runs via API and webhooks to keep the data fresh.

How fresh is the data?

There is no caching. Every run reads the current public page, so numbers are live at run time.

Media URLs stopped working after a while — why?

Instagram signs its CDN links and they expire. Download or re-host media in the same session you scrape it.
