๐ Instagram Profile Stats & Growth Tracker
Bulk-scrape public Instagram profile statistics and track follower growth across runs. For each username, URL, or @handle you provide, the actor returns a single structured row with follower/following/post counts, account flags (verified, private, business, professional), category, bio and contact data, an engagement proxy computed from recent posts, related-profile discovery, and โ when history is enabled โ follower-growth deltas versus the previous run.
The actor reverse-engineers Instagram's public web_profile_info endpoint (no login) via a Chrome TLS-impersonating client, with a four-layer HTML fallback (inline JSON, _sharedData, xdt_api payload, meta tags). Every emitted value comes from the real payload or from real cross-run snapshots โ unavailable values are null, never a fabricated 0.

followersFollowingRatio | Followers รท following |
countIsExact | true for precise API counts, false when the approximate meta-tag fallback ("13M") was used |
followersDelta, growthPct, dailyAvgGrowth, previousSnapshotAt | Growth vs the last stored snapshot (null on first run for a username) |
avgLikes, avgComments, engagementRatePct, lastPostAt, postsSampled | Engagement proxy from the last ~12 posts (null for private/empty accounts) |

Input
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
urls | array | โ | Usernames, @handles, or profile URLs. Deduplicated case-insensitively. |
enableHistory | boolean | true | Snapshot follower counts to a named Key-Value Store and compute growth. |
historyStoreName | string | instagram-followers-history | Name of the persistent store for snapshots. Reuse across runs to accumulate history. |
concurrency | integer | 2 | Profiles fetched in parallel (each on a fresh proxy IP). |
maxRetries | integer | 3 | Retries per profile before an error row is recorded. |
delayMs | integer | 2000 | Base delay for per-profile jitter and retry back-off. |
proxyConfiguration | object | RESIDENTIAL | Proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL is strongly recommended. |
Example input
How follower-growth tracking works
When enableHistory is on, each successful scrape reads the username's previous snapshot from the named Key-Value Store, computes followersDelta / growthPct / dailyAvgGrowth / previousSnapshotAt, then writes the new snapshot. The store is named (persistent), so it survives across runs. On the first run for a given username these growth fields are null โ they are never fabricated. Schedule the actor (e.g. daily) against the same store to build a growth timeline.
Output notes
- Exactly one row per input โ a successful scrape and a failed one both produce a row; failures carry a non-null
errorandnulldata fields. - Null, not zero โ a missing count is
null; a genuine0(e.g. an account following nobody) is preserved as0. - Private accounts return identity + flags, but engagement fields are
null(no visible posts).
Compliance
The actor collects only publicly available profile data (no logins, no private content). Use the data in accordance with Instagram's terms and applicable privacy law (e.g. GDPR).
