Instagram Followers Bio Keyword Scraper

Instagram Follower Bio Scraper

Scrapes followers of any Instagram account and filters them by bio keywords — no login or cookies required — returning structured JSON with full profile data, matched keywords, and which of your target accounts each user follows.

• Filter followers by any keyword in their Instagram bio (niche, industry, interests)
• Scrape multiple Instagram accounts in a single run
• Each result shows exactly which keywords matched and which accounts they follow
• Returns full profile data: bio, follower count, verification, business category, profile photo
• Outputs clean JSON/CSV ready for outreach tools, CRMs, or lead pipelines
• No Instagram account or cookies required to run

What data does it extract?

Each result contains:

Identity: username, fullName, profilePicUrl

Profile details: biography, followersCount, followsCount, verified, isBusinessAccount, businessCategoryName, private, externalUrls

Filter metadata: matchedKeywords (which bio keywords matched), followedAccounts (which of your input accounts they follow)

Output is available as JSON, CSV, or Excel via the Apify dataset export.

Pricing

This Actor is free to use — you only pay for Apify platform compute time and the sub-Actor runs it triggers.

A typical run of 100 followers per account costs approximately $0.10–$0.30 in Apify platform credits (including sub-Actor costs).

New Apify accounts receive $5 in free credits — enough for several hundred profile matches.

Technical notes

• No account needed: This Actor does not require an Instagram login, session cookies, or API credentials
• Sub-Actor dependencies: Results depend on scraping_solutions/instagram-scraper-followers-following-no-cookies (followers list) and apify/instagram-profile-scraper (full profile data) — both are free public Actors
• Private profiles: Followers with private Instagram accounts will be listed but bio data may be limited or unavailable
• Rate limits: Instagram applies rate limiting. For large runs (1,000+ followers), expect longer run times
• Keyword matching: Matching is case-insensitive and checks both biography and businessCategoryName fields
