Lemon8 Profile Scraper - Followers, Posts & Likes

Scrape public Lemon8 profiles: follower and following counts, profile likes & saves, and each creator's recent posts with a direct post link, post ID, post date, caption, likes and thumbnail. Built for influencer research, creator comparison and content analysis. Add one or many usernames, pick a region, get clean JSON/CSV.

What you get

Each run returns one profile record per username, followed by up to maxPosts post records.

Profile record (type: "profile")

Field	Description
type	Always profile
username	Lemon8 handle (the part after @), e.g. styledby.devon
profile_name	Display name shown on the profile
user_id	Lemon8 user ID
profile_url	Link to the profile on lemon8-app.com
avatar	Avatar image URL
bio	Profile bio text
followers	Follower count (exact number)
following	Following count (exact number)
likes_and_saves	Profile-level total of likes and saves combined (exact number)
posts_count	Number of posts on the profile

Post record (type: "post")

Field	Description
type	Always post
post_id	Lemon8 post ID, stable and unique, good for de-duplication
post_url	Direct link to the post
posted_at	When the post was published (UTC, ISO 8601). Derived from the post ID, accurate to within a few minutes
title	Post title, if the creator added one
caption	Post text. Hashtags appear inside the caption text. They are not a separate field
likes	Like count for the post
thumbnail	Thumbnail image URL
image_count	Number of images in a photo post
post_type	Gallery (photos) or Video
profile_username	Handle of the profile the post belongs to (matches the profile username)
profile_name	Display name of the profile the post belongs to

Profile stats come back on every listed region, including Japan (jp), Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. If Lemon8 shows no stats at all for a profile, that profile row is skipped (it is not saved and not charged), the run log says so plainly, and the profile's posts are still saved. Saves are only available as the combined profile-level likes_and_saves. There is no per-post saves count.

Changed in 0.0.30: username and profile_username now hold the handle instead of the display name. The display name is in profile_name.

FAQ

Is it public data only? Yes. Only publicly visible profile and post data is scraped. No login is used.

Do I include the @? You don't need to. name, @name and a full profile URL all work.

Which regions work? us, uk, jp, au, ca, nz, sg, my, id, th, vn. Pick the region the creator posts in. Profile stats and posts come back on all of them. For the same creator, the region mostly changes the link suffix rather than the data.

What if a profile doesn't exist? The run still succeeds and returns an error row for that username.

Why is there no profile row for one of my usernames? Lemon8 showed no follower, following or likes & saves numbers for it. The row is skipped so you aren't charged for an empty result, and the log names the profile. Its posts are still in the dataset.

Can it scrape comments, search, hashtags or follower lists? No. It covers profile stats and posts (link, ID, date, caption, likes, thumbnail) only.

Does it give saves per post or hashtags as a field? No. Saves are profile-level (likes_and_saves), and hashtags only appear inside captions.

Can I run it on a schedule or via API? Yes. Use Apify Schedules, webhooks, or the API.
