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 thisWhen to use something else
Public follower count for a profileFollower list (who follows them) → INSTAGRAM_FOLLOWERS_SCRAPER (needs login)
No Instagram loginPost/reel URL metrics → GLcl7jwhshuWdvkiD
Username / profile URLProfile posts/reels timeline → INSTAGRAM_PROFILE_SCRAPER

The cheap link scraper (GLcl7jwhshuWdvkiD) cannot return follower counts from a username.

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