Instagram Profile Scraper

Instagram Profile Scraper by Omkar Cloud gets you 🎯 accurate, 🔍 detailed Instagram data.

Instagram hides its data behind a login wall to stop you from getting it. Instagram Profile Scraper beats it — no account, no login, no cookies — and reads Instagram live on every run, so you get the full profile of any public Instagram account, and can successfully complete your project.

$1 per 1,000 profiles. And with Apify's free plan you get $5 of credit every month, so your first ~5,000 profiles each month are free.

This is an excellent Actor made by Omkar Cloud, which is Rated Excellent — 4.7 based on 30 reviews on Trustpilot.

👉 Try Instagram Profile Scraper free — your first ~5,000 profiles are Free.

What can I get

• 👤 The full profile — name, bio, profile picture, verified badge and private flag
• 📈 Audience numbers — followers, following and the exact post count
• 🔗 Every link — bio links, website, and the account's Threads handle
• 🏷️ Account type & category — creator, business or personal
• ✨ Story highlights — every highlight's ID, title, cover and link

Why Instagram Profile Scraper

Most other Instagram scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

• 🧩 Low-detail data — a few fields per row, never the full picture
• 🗄️ Inaccurate, cached, stale data — yesterday's numbers are useless
• 💸 Pay more to get the same data — $2.60 per 1,000 profiles elsewhere
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

Instagram Profile Scraper reads Instagram live, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.

Example: Taylor Swift's Profile

{
  "source": "taylorswift",
  "id": "11830955",
  "username": "taylorswift",
  "full_name": "Taylor Swift",
  "link": "https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/",
  "profile_picture": "https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-19/818902239_18699523633…",
  "is_verified": true,
  "biography": "And, baby, that's sh0w business f0r y0u. ❤️‍🔥",
  "external_link": "http://store.taylorswift.com",
  "account_type": "creator",
  "follower_count": 272830796,
  "following_count": 0,
  "post_count": 709,
  "threads_username": "taylorswift",
  "highlights": [
    {
      "id": "18520347457009686",
      "title": "❤️‍🔥",
      "link": "https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18520347457009686/"
    }
  ]
}

Trimmed for readability. Every row also carries is_private, bio_links, category, pronouns, is_business, is_memorialized, has_reels, account_badges and has_more_highlights.

FAQ

What can I put in the input?

Usernames (taylorswift, @natgeo), numeric user IDs (11830955) or any instagram.com profile link — mixed freely.

Do I get the exact follower count?

Yes — follower_count, following_count and post_count are exact numbers, not "291M"-style text.

What happens with a username that doesn't exist?

It's skipped with a clear log line and you are not charged for it. You only pay for rows you get.

What does it cost?

$0.001 per profile — $1 per 1,000 — flat on every plan, with no start fee. Apify's free plan gives you $5 of credit every month, which is about 5,000 profiles free every month.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram?

The Actor collects only the public data Instagram shows any logged-out visitor — no login, no private accounts. Please review Instagram's terms of use and make sure your use complies with the law of your jurisdiction, including data-protection law.

I need posts or comments, not profiles.

Use Instagram Scraper for posts and reels ($1 per 1,000 posts), or Instagram Comments Scraper for comments ($0.50 per 1,000 comments).
