Paste an Instagram username or profile URL. Get the follower number. No Instagram account, cookies, or session ID.
This is count only — not a follower list.
| When to use this | When to use something else |
|---|---|
| Public follower count for a profile | Follower list (who follows them) → INSTAGRAM_FOLLOWERS_SCRAPER (needs login) |
| No Instagram login | Post/reel URL metrics → GLcl7jwhshuWdvkiD |
| Username / profile URL | Profile posts/reels timeline → INSTAGRAM_PROFILE_SCRAPER |
The cheap link scraper (GLcl7jwhshuWdvkiD) cannot return follower counts from a username.
Input
{"profiles": ["https://www.instagram.com/nasa/", "instagram"],"workers": 8}
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
profiles | Profile URL or username |
workers | Parallel fetches (default 8, max 32) |
Runs with a direct connection — no Apify proxy.
Local run

- Instagram rate-limits aggressive anonymous traffic; keep batches reasonable
- Does not return the list of follower usernames
