Important Notes

• Only public profiles can be scraped. Private Instagram accounts do not expose their follower or following lists. The scraper automatically detects private profiles and skips them with a clear log message — you are never charged for private accounts.
• Account must exist. If a username is misspelled or the account has been deleted, the scraper will log a warning and move on to the next profile.
• Large accounts take longer. A profile with 100,000 followers will take proportionally longer than one with 1,000. Use the maxFollowers parameter to control how deep you go.

Pricing

• Free tier: 25 results per run — no credit card required
