Instagram Profile & Followers Scraper reads public Instagram profiles and saves one row per profile.

What does it do?

Give it usernames; for each public profile it saves the username, full name, biography, avatar image link and the follower, following and post counts. It does not read posts, followers lists or private accounts.

Why use it?

• What a public profile shows, as rows: username, full name, biography, avatar, and follower, following and post counts.

How to use it

1. Put one or more public usernames in usernames (with or without @).
2. Optionally set minFollowers to drop smaller profiles.
3. Run the Actor and download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or NDJSON from the dataset.
