Instagram Profile Scraper & API: Bio, Email & Followers

Instagram Profile Scraper

Scrape public Instagram profiles in bulk: name, bio, followers, following, exact posts count, verified and private flags, profile picture, the emails and phone numbers written in the bio, links, mentions and hashtags from the bio, whether a story is live, the 6 latest posts with likes and comments, average likes, engagement rate and posts per week, and the follower change since your previous check.

{ "profiles": ["humansofny", "garyvee", "kevinhart4real"] }

No Instagram login, no cookies, no browser. Give usernames, profile links or user IDs; get one row per profile. Use it as an Instagram profile scraper API for influencer vetting, lead lists, competitor tracking, a follower count tracker or CRM enrichment.

Track follower growth

Save your input as a task and schedule it every day or week: each row shows followersChange and previousCheckAt, the change since the previous run with the same Monitor name. Use separate monitor names for separate lists (for example competitors and clients). Send the rows to Google Sheets, Slack, email or a webhook with an Apify integration.

Profile	$1.09 per 1,000 ($0.98 on Scale, $0.49 on Business)	each profile in the results; accounts that do not exist are free

Examples: 100 profiles ≈ $0.12; 1,000 profiles ≈ $1.25; a weekly check of 50 competitors ≈ $0.25 a month.

FAQ

Do I need an Instagram account? No. The Actor reads public profiles the way a logged-out visitor sees them.

Private accounts? You get the name, bio, counts and the private flag; their posts are not public, so the post averages stay empty.

Where do the emails and phones come from? From the bio text: whatever the account wrote there, including spelled-out forms like "mail [at] site [dot] com". The website button, business category and the contact buttons of business accounts are shown only to logged-in users, so they are not in the results.

Some accounts have no posts list. Accounts that turned off embedding (some celebrities) show their counts and bio, but not their latest posts; postsCount is still filled.

An account shows as not found. It does not exist, was renamed, or Instagram does not show it to logged-out visitors (also some deactivated or restricted accounts). Those rows are free and listed in the run log.

How fast is it? About 40 profiles a minute with the default 5 profiles at once.

Use with the API and AI agents

Run it from your code or an AI agent with the Apify API, the Apify MCP server or the Python and JavaScript clients; read the results from the dataset (?view=profiles, ?view=contacts, ?view=activity).
