Instagram followings Scraper

Scrape Instagram users' followings. No cookies. No login. First of its type on the Apify store. And NO, we don't give follower counts nor do we ask for cookies. See the sample output below.

It's very hard to scrape followings, as you all know. Instagram usually limits to a certain number (20–40) for verified profiles, but our scraper can scrape 100k+ profiles

Limitations

• We can't guarantee you'll be able to scrape all profiles. If you enter a very high number in maxItem (e.g., 1M), the actor will scrape up to what it can.
• For FREE users, we restrict the number of profiles scraped per run to 100. PAID users are unrestricted. This helps prevent abuse and control infra costs for this complex project.

Input

{
  "maxItem": 100,
  "profileEnriched": true,
  "type": "followings",
  "username": ["narendramodi"]
}

maxItem - The total number of followings to fetch per username. For example, if maxItem is 100 and you enter 2 usernames, the actor fetches up to 100 followings for each. On the free plan, it stops after the first username reaches 100 results. If you have max_charged_dataset configured, the actor stops when that limit is reached.

profileEnriched - Lightning-fast profile enrichment. If true, the actor fetches the full profile of each follower (useful for marketing and analysis). Set to false if you don't need enrichment; it runs faster. It can enrich ~300 profiles per minute.
