Instagram Account Age & Country Checker

Find out when any public Instagram account was created, which country it was registered in, and whether it has changed its username — the same "About this account" transparency data Instagram shows in the app, in bulk.

What you get

For every username you enter, one clean record with:

• Account creation date (accountCreated, e.g. "November 2010") plus parsed createdYear, createdMonth, and computed accountAgeYears
• Country of registration — where the account is based according to Instagram
• Former usernames and a hasChangedUsername flag — spot rebranded or recycled accounts instantly
• Verification status, account type (personal / creator / business), and category
• Full profile context: follower count, following count, post count, bio, external link, public email, and profile picture URL
• Export everything to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console

Use cases

• Bot and fake account detection — brand-new accounts with high activity are a classic bot signal
• Influencer vetting — verify an account's age, origin country, and name-change history before signing a deal
• Account purchase due diligence — confirm the real creation date and past usernames before buying an account
• Fraud and impersonation investigations — check whether a "official" account was really registered where and when it claims
• Community moderation — screen new members' account age at scale

How to use

1. Enter one or more Instagram usernames (with or without @) or full profile URLs
2. Run the actor — one result per account appears in the Dataset tab
3. Export or connect the dataset to your own tools via the API

FAQ

Does this work on private accounts? Yes — the About panel data (creation date, country, former usernames) is public transparency information, so private accounts return results too.
