Instagram Profile Insights is a lightweight public profile count lookup for teams that need quick, structured Instagram metrics without running a browser. Provide usernames or profile URLs and receive clean rows with username, follower count, following count, post count, profile URL, data source, and scrape timestamp.

This actor is intentionally focused on fast count collection. It is useful for creator discovery, brand-fit checks, influencer list enrichment, social proof snapshots, and recurring profile monitoring where the core question is: “What are the current public account counts for these profiles?”

What it returns

  • username - normalized Instagram username
  • followerCount - public follower count when available
  • followingCount - public following count when available
  • postCount - public media/post count when available
  • url - canonical Instagram profile URL
  • source - extraction source used for the row
  • scrapedAt - timestamp for audit and monitoring

When to use it

  • Enrich creator or influencer prospect lists with current public counts
  • Compare profile sizes before outreach
  • Refresh follower snapshots for internal dashboards
  • Validate imported Instagram URLs before deeper research
  • Run small scheduled checks for selected accounts

Input options

  • usernames - Instagram usernames with or without @
  • profileUrls - full Instagram profile URLs
  • proxyConfiguration - Apify Proxy configuration, recommended because Instagram can rate-limit or block direct requests

Example input

{
"usernames": ["instagram", "zuck"],
"profileUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/creators/"],
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true
}
}

Example output

{
"username": "instagram",
"followerCount": 685000000,
"followingCount": 270,
"postCount": 8500,
"url": "https://www.instagram.com/instagram/",
"source": "instagram_web_profile_info",
"scrapedAt": "2026-08-11T08:00:00.000Z"
}

Reliability notes

Instagram may block automated requests, change public endpoints, or limit access for some accounts. Private, removed, unavailable, or blocked profiles are skipped instead of producing misleading rows. Use Apify Proxy for better reliability and keep batches focused when checking important accounts.
