Discover Instagram accounts similar to any public profile using Instagram's own "Suggested for You" graph. No login required. Give the actor 1 to 5 seed usernames and get back the accounts Instagram itself recommends alongside them.
What you get
Each dataset record is one related profile:
seedUsername: which input seed produced this discoverydepth:1(related to a seed) or2(related-of-related)userId,username,fullNameisVerified,isPrivateprofilePicUrlsocialContext: the label Instagram surfaces alongside the suggestion (e.g."National Geographic Travel")chainingAlgorithm: the algorithm tag Instagram attaches to the suggestion, when present
Up to about 80 related accounts per seed at depth 1.
Use cases
- Influencer discovery: find creators in the same niche as a known account
- Competitor mapping: see who Instagram clusters alongside a competing brand
- Audience research: surface adjacent communities for ad targeting
- Lead generation: build prospect lists of similar businesses or creators
- Niche expansion: grow an outreach list beyond your existing follow graph
How to use
- Enter 1 to 5 Instagram seed usernames (with or without
@) - Pick Search Depth:

0for unlimited within the chosen depth) - Run the actor. Results appear in the Dataset tab and can be exported to JSON, CSV, or Google Sheets

Example input
{"usernames": ["natgeo", "nasa"],"searchDepth": 1,"maxItems": 200}
Example output record
{"seedUsername": "natgeo","depth": 1,"userId": "23947096","username": "natgeotravel","fullName": "National Geographic Travel","isPrivate": false,"isVerified": true,"profilePicUrl": "https://scontent...cdninstagram.com/...jpg","socialContext": "National Geographic Travel","chainingAlgorithm": null}
Notes
- Only public profiles can be used as seeds. Private profiles cannot be scraped.
- Instagram's recommender shifts daily, so re-running the actor on the same seed will return overlapping but not identical results.
- Depth 2 multiplies API usage significantly. A 5-seed run at depth 2 can fetch hundreds of profiles. Use
maxItemsto cap spend.
