A compact, production-grade Apify Actor that scrapes Instagram following lists for one or more input profiles and saves results in real time to the dataset.

Why Choose This Actor?

  • Matches your required output shape (same keys as your output.json)
  • Bulk input (URLs or usernames/keywords)
  • Smart proxy fallback:
    • Start with no proxy (direct)
    • If blocked → fallback to datacenter proxy
    • If blocked → fallback to residential proxy
    • If residential fails → retry 3 times with residential
    • After fallback happens → stick to residential for remaining requests
  • Clear progress logs to keep the user engaged

Input

Example:

{
"urls": [
"https://www.instagram.com/mrbeast/",
"virat.kohli"
],
"maxItems": 300,
"pageSize": 12,
"sessionId": "YOUR_SESSIONID_COOKIE_VALUE",
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": false
}
}

Output

Each dataset item contains these keys:

  • pk, pk_id, id, full_name, is_private, fbid_v2, third_party_downloads_enabled, strong_id__, profile_pic_id, profile_pic_url, is_verified, username, has_anonymous_profile_picture, account_badges, latest_reel_media, is_favorite, followed_by

Notes / Cautions

  • The actor scrapes only publicly available data.
  • The end user is responsible for compliance with applicable laws and platform rules.
