Instagram Profile Followers Scraper

Turn the followers of public Instagram profiles into a structured, resumable dataset.

Instagram Profile Followers Scraper accepts one or more seed usernames and exports follower rows for each profile. Every result keeps its source username, so batches from several accounts remain traceable after they are merged into one dataset.

Batch profiles without mixing list directions

Provide the profiles, choose a per-profile result cap, and run. For lists that exceed a single job, save the continuation token from the log and pass it back through Continue From on the next run.

Bulk profile followers

Supply one or more profile usernames and choose how many follower rows to collect from each seed.

Field	Type	Required	Description
profiles	array	Yes	Instagram accounts to pull the list from
limit	integer	No	Stop after this many rows per account (0 = pull the whole list)

Continue an export

Reuse the continuation cursor logged by an earlier run when a profile's follower list needs another pass.

Field	Type	Required	Description
profiles	array	Yes	Instagram accounts to pull the list from
continueFrom	string	No	Paste the token from an earlier run's log (look for '🔖 CONTINUE TOKEN') to resume where it stopped.

Full profile rows

Enable Deep Profile Fetch when each follower row needs the account's full available public profile object.

Field	Type	Required	Description
deepEnrich	boolean	No	Swap each row for the account's full public profile (slower, adds a billable event per row)
limit	integer	No	Stop after this many rows per account (0 = pull the whole list)

Example multi-profile-ready export

{
  "profiles": [
    "nasa"
  ],
  "limit": 20,
  "deepEnrich": false
}

Output built for downstream joins

Follower identity

Field	Type	Description
username	string	Instagram username of the account.
full_name	string	Display name shown on the profile.
id	string	Instagram numeric user ID.
is_verified	boolean	Whether the account is verified (blue badge).
is_private	boolean	Whether the account is private.
profile_pic_url	string	Profile picture URL.

Run context

Field	Type	Description
source_username	string	The account whose followers/followings this record belongs to.

Enrichment

Field	Type	Description
enriched	boolean	Whether this record was replaced with a full enriched profile.

Example follower row

{
  "username": "nasaartemis",
  "full_name": "NASA Artemis",
  "id": "1104426670",
  "is_private": false,
  "is_verified": true,
  "profile_pic_url": "https://instagram.fadd2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/example.jpg",
  "source_username": "nasa",
  "enriched": false
}

Pay for delivered rows

Billing follows Apify's pay-per-result model. You're only charged for rows that land in the dataset, per the pricing shown on this Actor's Pricing tab. Turning on profile enrichment adds its own billable event per record.

Apify's free credits may cover small test pulls, plus whatever free monthly credits your Apify plan includes.

Test with a small result cap first, then scale up once you know the list size you're dealing with.

Use public follower data responsibly

Both tools only touch public Instagram data — no login walls, no private accounts, no bypassing access controls. Don't use them to harvest private information or to contact people in ways that break privacy law, Instagram's terms, or your own compliance rules. When in doubt, get a lawyer's opinion.
