Instagram Email Scraper & Influencer Email Finder

What does Instagram Email Finder do?

Instagram Email Finder finds Instagram creators by niche and returns the ones you can actually contact. Type a niche such as "dog mom", "skincare" or "fitness coach", paste a list of handles, or name a few creators you like to get lookalikes. You get one row per account with a contact email, phone numbers, TikTok, YouTube and other social links, followers, engagement rate and category. You pay only for leads: accounts without an email are checked for free.

It reads public profiles without logging in, so there is no Instagram account, cookie or session to manage. Export the results as CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull them through the API.

At a glance

• Input: niche keywords, Instagram handles or profile URLs, and/or accounts to find lookalikes for.
• Emails from: the bio (including "name [at] gmail [dot] com" tricks), the link in bio (Linktree, Beacons, Stan and 15+ other link pages), the creator's own website and its contact page, and recent post captions.
• Filters: followers, engagement rate, account type, category, verified, only new accounts, exclude list.
• Price: $6 per 1,000 leads in leads-only mode. See pricing below.
• Access: public data only. No login.

How it finds creators

1. By keyword: web search for Instagram accounts that match your niche, then Instagram's own "related accounts" of the ones found, until your limit is reached.
2. By handle: the accounts you paste, in order.
3. Lookalikes: Instagram's related accounts of the creators you name, ranked by how many of them suggest each account. Name 2 to 5 creators who fit your brand and the shared suggestions come first.

How it finds emails

In this order, the first one found becomes contactEmail:

1. Bio text. In our tests about half of lifestyle creators (beauty, pets, food) write an email in their bio.
2. Link in bio. The page behind the bio link is read for emails, phone numbers and social profiles. On a link page such as Linktree, up to 3 of the creator's own sites listed there are read too, including their contact page. Brand, store and affiliate links are never scanned, so a sponsor's address never ends up in a creator's row.
3. Recent captions ("for collabs email ...").

Every address is checked against DNS: if its domain cannot receive mail it is dropped (no message is ever sent). Store and platform mailboxes (for example a link that redirects to Amazon) are never returned, and you can add support desks or agencies you never want to the Never return these emails or domains list.

Emails behind Instagram's in-app Email button are not included: Instagram only shows them to logged-in users, and this actor never logs in.

Tips

• Short niches find more accounts than long phrases: "vegan recipes" beats "easy vegan recipes for busy moms".
• Use lookalikes once you have a few creators you like: they return the most on-brand lists.
• Only new accounts remembers what this actor already returned to you (in a storage named instagram-email-finder in your own Apify account), so weekly runs bring fresh creators only.
• Micro-influencers: set Maximum followers to 50,000 or 150,000.
• Run it on a schedule and connect Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook to receive new leads automatically.

Use it with AI agents, the API, n8n or Make

Call it from any language with the Apify API, from n8n, Make or Zapier, or from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com): ask for "Instagram dog mom creators with emails" and the agent runs it for you.

FAQ

Do I need an Instagram account or cookies? No. Only public profile data is read, without logging in.

Why do some accounts have no email? Many creators keep their email behind Instagram's Email button, which needs a login. In leads-only mode you are not billed for them.

Can it read private accounts? Their bio and links are public and are read; their posts are not, so engagement stays empty.

Is it legal? The actor reads only data that anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for how you use contact data: follow the GDPR, CAN-SPAM and similar laws, and Instagram's terms.

Something looks wrong? Open an Issue on the actor page with the run link.
