Instagram Email & Phone Scraper - Bio, Website & WhatsApp

📇 Instagram Email & Phone Scraper: Emails, Phones and WhatsApp from the Bio and the Linked Website

🚀 Turn a list of Instagram handles into a contact sheet. In our last test run, 25 real business and creator profiles came back in 45 seconds: 11 with an email, 11 with a phone number and 4 with a WhatsApp number, plus category, address and follower counts. No login, no cookies, no Instagram account.

Give the Actor Instagram usernames or profile links (or a keyword such as nail salon miami), and it returns one row per profile with every public email, phone and WhatsApp number it can find. It reads the bio, follows the link in the bio (Linktree, Beacons, Stan and the business website, including its contact page), and adds the business block Instagram shows to everyone: category, street address, city, ZIP and map coordinates, plus the profile's name, followers, posts and verified badge.

Each row has 41 fields. Phones come out in international E.164 format (+17862756666), ready for a dialer or a CRM, and every email and phone says where it was found, so you can trust or re-check it.

🎯 Who uses it	💡 What they use it for

📋 What the Instagram Email & Phone Scraper does

• 📧 Emails from the bio and the linked site. The bio first, then the link-in-bio page, the website and its contact or about page (up to 4 pages per profile, adjustable). Obfuscated forms like info(at)shop.co.uk are read too.
• 📞 Phones in E.164. Numbers written in the bio (786.275.6666, (305) 674-1234, +54 9 11 5555-1234) and tel: links or labelled numbers on the website, validated per country so dates and order numbers are not taken for phones.
• 💬 WhatsApp numbers from wa.me and api.whatsapp.com links and from "WhatsApp: +503 ..." labels.
• 🏢 The business block: business or creator account, category (Beauty Salon, Bakery, Sportswear Store), the contact button the business picked, street address, city, ZIP, latitude and longitude.
• 👤 The profile: name, bio, bio links, followers, following, posts, verified and private flags, profile picture.
• 🌐 Other social profiles found on the way: Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Telegram.
• 🔎 Keyword discovery (optional): type bakery austin or wedding photographer "whatsapp" and the Actor finds matching Instagram profiles through Google, then reads each one.
• 🧹 Only leads with contact data (optional): leave out profiles with no email, phone or WhatsApp. Left-out profiles are not billed.

💡 Why it matters: small businesses on Instagram often have no listing anywhere else. The bio and the link in it are where they publish how to reach them, and this Actor collects exactly that, with the source of every value.

Every value has a source	emailSource, phoneSource and pagesScanned tell you where each contact came from.
Phones ready to dial	E.164 format with the country code, validated per country.
Business block included	Category, contact button, street address, city, ZIP and coordinates when the business set them.
Keyword discovery	Find profiles by niche and city through Google, no hashtag login needed.
Clean billing	Profiles that could not be read are free, and with onlyWithContact so are profiles without contact data.

Phone format	E.164 with country code	Raw text
Business address and coordinates	✅ when set	Rarely

Be clear on the one ceiling: the email and phone behind the Contact button inside the Instagram app are served to logged-in users only. We measured it on 28/09/2026 on 11 business and creator accounts (Nike, Taco Bell, NASA, Shopify and others) from a home line, a datacenter and a residential address: the fields were empty every time for a logged-out visitor. This Actor does not log in, so it does not have them. It does have everything the business prints in its bio and on its own site, which for small businesses is usually the same address.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

📧 Does it get the email behind Instagram's Contact button? No. Instagram serves that email and phone to logged-in users only; for any logged-out visitor the fields are empty (measured on 11 business and creator accounts from three kinds of network). The Actor finds the addresses the business publishes in its bio and on its linked site instead.

🔐 Do I need an Instagram account or cookies? No. Nothing to connect and no account at risk.

📈 How many profiles have an email? It depends on the niche. In our 25-profile test, 11 had an email and 11 had a phone. Small businesses and creators publish contact data far more often than big brands.

🌍 Why is a phone number read as a US number? Numbers written without a +country code are read with Country for local phone numbers (US by default). Set it to your market, for example MX or GB. Websites on a country domain (.co.uk, .de) use that country automatically.

🏢 Why is the category or address "Not Disclosed" for some businesses? For a share of business accounts (11 of 25 in our test) Instagram's app endpoint answers with an internal category error, so the Actor reads the public profile page instead. That page has the name, bio, links and counts, but not the business block. dataSource tells you which one a row came from.

🔎 How does the keyword search work? Google indexes Instagram profiles with their bio. The Actor searches site:instagram.com <your keywords>, reads the handles from the results (about 6 to 10 per results page) and then reads each profile. Narrow queries return fewer profiles.

🔒 What about private accounts? The name, bio and counts are public and come back; the website scan is skipped.

🕸 Which link-in-bio services are followed? Linktree, Beacons, Stan, Bio.site, Carrd, Later, lnk.bio, bio.link, Taplink, hoo.be, Komi, Snipfeed, Milkshake, AllMyLinks, solo.to, Linkpop, Bento and more. Social networks are listed in socialProfiles but not opened.

🧹 What does "Only profiles with an email or phone" do? It leaves out profiles where nothing was found. Those are not written and not billed.

⏱ How fast is it? The 25-profile test run took 45 seconds with the website scan on.

❌ What if a username does not exist? You get a free row with error explaining it: no such profile, not shown to logged-out visitors, or Instagram refusing the request.

🧑‍⚖️ Is it legal? The Actor collects only data that businesses and creators publish for anyone to see. You are responsible for how you use it, including anti-spam and data-protection laws such as CAN-SPAM and GDPR.

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: $4.20 per 1,000 profiles ($0.0042 each) plus $0.005 per run start. The website scan is included. Profiles that could not be read are free, and so are profiles left out by onlyWithContact.

Profiles	Approximate cost

10,000	$42.01

Optional, billed only when you use it:

Add-on	Price
Keyword search (searchQueries)	$0.04 per Google results page read (about 6 to 10 profiles each)
