Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Instagram Email Scraper - Profile Leads & Bio Contacts **Instagram email scraper that turns a list of profiles into a contactable lead list.** Paste usernames or profile URLs and get back each profile's **email** (pulled from the bio *and* the linked website), follower and engagement stats, a 0–100 lead score, and an optional AI cold-email opener — ready to export to CSV, JSON, or Excel. Built for **influencer leads, creator partnerships, agencies, and B2B cold email**: this Instagram scraper returns clean, scored, contactable data, not just a raw profile dump. You only keep — and pay for — the leads that pass your filters. --- ### How to scrape Instagram for leads (in 3 steps) 1. **Add your profiles.** Paste Instagram usernames or profile URLs, one per line (a niche list, competitor's tagged accounts, or an influencer export). 2. **Set your filters.** Choose follower range, verified-only, business-only, has-website, or has-email so you only get leads worth contacting. 3. **Run and export.** The Instagram email scraper finds emails, scores every lead 0–100, dedupes, and pushes a clean dataset you can download as CSV, JSON, or Excel — or pipe straight into your CRM. Under the hood it pulls each profile via the official [`apify/instagram-scraper`](https://apify.com/apify/instagram-scraper), then enriches and scores the results. --- ### What data you get from each Instagram profile - **Find the email behind any Instagram profile** — scans the bio for inline emails *and* visits the link-in-bio website (home / contact / about) to pull the real email plus other socials. - **Measure real influence, not vanity followers** — engagement rate is computed from recent posts so you can spot follower-padded accounts. - **Rank the best leads first** — every profile gets a 0–100 lead score based on email + link + follower fit + engagement. - **Capture profile context** — name, niche/category, follower count, verified status, and the canonical profile URL. - **Write a cold-email opener automatically** — an optional one-line, personalized icebreaker per lead, generated with **your own** OpenAI or Anthropic key. - **Deduplicate automatically** — the same handle, website, or email collapses into a single row. --- ### Filters & options Trim a raw profile list down to the influencer leads worth emailing. You're only charged for leads delivered after filtering. - **Filter Instagram profiles by follower count** — set a min/max band to target nano, micro, mid, or macro tiers. - **Keep only verified accounts** — blue-check profiles only. - **Keep only business / creator accounts** — the accounts most likely to expose public contact info. - **Keep only profiles with a link in bio** — needed to enrich an email from the linked site. - **Keep only profiles with an email** — best for cold-email campaigns; drops anything uncontactable. - **Enrich emails from the linked website** — visits each link-in-bio site for a higher email fill rate (no API key needed). - **Generate AI cold openers** — add a personalized opener per lead using your own LLM key. --- ### Input | Field | What it does | |---|---| | **profiles** *(required)* | Instagram usernames or profile URLs, one per line. | | **minFollowers** | Keep only profiles with at least this many followers (0 = off). | | **maxFollowers** | Keep only profiles with at most this many followers (0 = no cap). Use with min to target a tier. | | **onlyVerified** | Keep only blue-check verified accounts. | | **onlyBusinessAccount** | Keep only Instagram business / creator accounts. | | **onlyWithWebsite** | Keep only profiles that have a link in bio. | | **onlyWithEmail** | Keep only profiles where an email was found. | | **enrichEmails** | Visit the link-in-bio site to find emails + socials (default on). | | **writeOpeners** | Add an AI cold-opener per lead — requires your OpenAI/Anthropic key. | | **llmProvider** | Which model writes the openers (`openai` or `anthropic`). | | **llmApiKey** | Your own API key — used only to write openers, never stored. | | **llmModel** | Optional model override. | Example input: ```json { "profiles": ["natgeo", "https://www.instagram.com/nike/", "humansofny"], "minFollowers": 5000, "maxFollowers": 500000, "onlyWithEmail": true, "enrichEmails": true, "writeOpeners": false } ```` *** ### JSON output sample One row per profile, best leads first. Results also render as a clean sortable table on the Output tab and export to CSV / JSON / Excel. ```json { "lead_score": 95, "handle": "someboutique", "name": "Some Boutique", "category": "Clothing (Brand)", "followers": 84200, "engagement_rate": 3.8, "email": "hello@someboutique.com", "email_status": "found", "website": "https://someboutique.com", "verified": false, "icebreaker": "Loved how your spring drop landed 3.8% engagement at 84k…", "profile_url": "https://www.instagram.com/someboutique/" } ``` *** ### Use cases - Build an outreach list of **creators in a niche** you already follow or compete with. - Find **brand-partnership** contacts with real engagement instead of vanity followers. - Agencies: enrich a client's prospect list of Instagram handles into emails + a ready CSV. - Sales teams: turn a list of business Instagram accounts into a cold-email-ready lead list. *** ### Use with AI agents & automation Every run produces a structured dataset, so this Instagram email scraper drops straight into your stack. Trigger it from an AI agent over **MCP**, or wire the dataset into **Make**, **n8n**, or **Zapier** to push new influencer leads into your CRM, email tool, or a **Google Sheets** tab automatically. Pair it with the Apify API to schedule runs and keep your lead list fresh without manual exports. *** ### Pricing This actor runs on Apify's pay-as-you-go model: you pay for the compute and the official Instagram scraper calls used during a run, and you only get charged for leads delivered **after** your filters are applied. Optional AI openers use **your own** OpenAI/Anthropic key, billed directly by that provider. See the live cost estimate on the actor's pricing tab before you run. *** ### Other Flash Scrape scrapers Need leads from another platform?

Use it for legitimate outreach and follow Instagram's terms plus anti-spam laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR) in how you message people. **Do I need an API key?** No — finding and enriching emails needs no key. An API key is only required if you turn on AI cold openers, and it's **your** OpenAI/Anthropic key, used during the run and never stored. **Do I need a list of profiles to start?** Yes. This scraper works from usernames or profile URLs you provide (a niche list, a competitor's tagged accounts, an influencer export). Instagram has restricted open hashtag discovery, so a supplied profile list is the reliable, accurate route. **Will every profile have an email?** No. Instagram only exposes public emails for some business accounts; the rest depend on what's in the bio or on the linked website. Turn on `onlyWithEmail` to keep just the contactable leads. **How many results can I get?** There's no hard cap — it processes as many profiles as you submit. Larger lists simply take longer and use more compute, and you're only charged for leads that pass your filters. **Can I export to CSV / Google Sheets?** Yes. Every run exports to CSV, JSON, or Excel, and you can push the dataset into Google Sheets, Make, n8n, or Zapier via the Apify API or integrations. # Actor input Schema ## `profiles` (type: `array`): Usernames or profile URLs to turn into leads — one per line. e.g. 'natgeo' or 'https://www.instagram.com/nike/'. ## `minFollowers` (type: `integer`): Keep only profiles with at least this many followers (0 = no filter). ## `maxFollowers` (type: `integer`): Keep only profiles with at most this many followers (0 = no cap).
