India Instagram Influencer Scraper

Search 2.4 million+ Indian Instagram creators from a continuously refreshed creator graph. Filter by category, follower bracket, regional focus, and average views — then export a clean dataset of handles, reach, and engagement.

The graph

Indra maintains an India Instagram index that is treated as a live production corpus:

• 2.4 million+ public creator profiles
• 120 categories across entertainment, lifestyle, news, politics, business, and culture
• 650+ cities and districts
• Every follower tier from nano (<10K) to mega (1M+)
• Hourly hydration of views and engagement on the working set

This Actor walks the India Instagram graph sequentially. With or without filters, it reads the next profile, applies your filters, writes a match to the dataset, then moves to the next profile — until resultsLimit is reached. Default ranking is crawl order. Optional ranks (followers, views, engagement, likes) still scan in order, then sort the matched set.

• The full graph is 2.4M+ nodes; each run returns the hydrated matches for your filters, up to resultsLimit.
• Designed for India. Regional focus is city-level, not language-only.
