Instagram Niche Influencer Finder

Describe any niche in plain English — "sustainable fashion bloggers", "yoga instructors in London", "new mom lifestyle creators" — and get back real, verified Instagram accounts in that niche, complete with follower counts, bios, and public contact details.

No usernames needed. This actor finds the accounts for you.

What you get

For every matching account:

• Username and profile URL — verified to exist, never guessed
• Full name, bio, and category (e.g. "Personal blog", "Health & wellness")
• Follower, following, and post counts — filter by min/max followers to target micro-influencers or big accounts
• Public email and phone number when the account exposes them
• Verification and business-account status
• How it was discovered — via account search or niche hashtags — and a short reason why it matches your niche
• Export everything to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets straight from the Apify console

How it works

1. Your niche description is expanded into the search keywords and hashtags that niche actually uses on Instagram
2. Accounts are discovered from Instagram account search and from the authors of top posts under those hashtags
3. Every candidate is verified against its live Instagram profile and enriched with follower counts, bio, and contact info
4. Each profile is checked against your niche description — only genuine matches make it into your results

Use cases

• Influencer discovery — build a list of creators in your product's niche without knowing a single username
• Lead generation — find business accounts in a vertical and pull their public emails and phones
• Competitor and market research — map who's active in a niche and how big their audiences are
• Micro-influencer campaigns — set Max followers to 50,000 to surface smaller, high-engagement creators
• Outreach list building — feed the usernames into the Instagram Email & Phone Scraper for deeper contact extraction including link-in-bio pages

How to use

1. Enter your Niche / audience in plain English — be as specific as you like ("vegan food bloggers in Australia" works better than "food")
2. Optionally set Min followers / Max followers to target a size range
3. Set Max accounts for how many results you want
4. Run the actor — matching accounts appear in the Dataset tab as they're found

FAQ

Are the accounts real? Yes — every account is verified against its live Instagram profile before it's included. Accounts that can't be verified are dropped.

Why did I get fewer results than Max accounts? The actor only returns accounts that genuinely match your niche. Broaden the niche description or loosen the follower filters for more results.

Does it work for local niches? Yes — include the location in your description ("hair stylists in Manchester") and it will be used in both keyword and hashtag discovery.
