Instagram Email Scraper - Phone, WhatsApp & Website Contacts

What does Instagram Email Scraper do?

Instagram Email Scraper turns a list of Instagram accounts into contact records: every email, phone number and WhatsApp number each account publishes, found in its bio, its bio links, its link-in-bio page (Linktree, Later, Sprout, Stan Store, lnk.bio and more) and the contact pages of its own website. One row per account, every contact with the page it came from. Built for agencies, sales teams, PR and influencer marketers who need to reach Instagram businesses and creators without copying contact details by hand.

Instagram Contact Scraper - Instagram Email Finder - Instagram Phone Number Scraper - Linktree Email Scraper

• Emails, phones and WhatsApp in one row: emails, phones, whatsapp, plus a best single email and phone for your CRM.
• It reads the website, not just the bio: the account's own homepage and its contact, imprint and about pages (mailto and tel links, schema.org data, footers). On a 75-account test 97% of the contacts found came from the accounts' websites.
• Link-in-bio pages unwrapped: Linktree, Later Link in Bio, Sprout Social, Stan Store, Emplifi, lnk.bio, direct.me, bio.site, solo.to and other services; their links are followed to the account's own site.
• Every contact with its source: contactDetails says where each email or phone was found (bio, bio link, link-in-bio page, website page URL), whether an email is a role or personal address, whether its domain matches the website, and whether the domain has a mail server (MX).
• Related-account discovery: optionally add the accounts Instagram suggests next to yours and get their contacts too.
• No Instagram login, cookies or API key.
• Export anywhere: JSON, CSV, Excel; schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, the Apify API and MCP.

Input JSON

{
  "usernames": ["lukeslobster", "nutsdotcom", "jenisicecreams"],
  "requireContact": "any",
  "scanDepth": "website",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Paste usernames, profile URLs or ids in the same list

Mix bare usernames, @handles, profile URLs and numeric user ids; duplicates are read once. Do: https://www.instagram.com/lukeslobster/ · Don't: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1abc/ (a post link is skipped with a warning).

Pick what a record must contain before you start

requireContact decides which accounts become rows. Leave it on any for a lead list, choose email for an email campaign, or none when you want a row for every account (for example to see which ones publish nothing).

Use related-account discovery to build a list from a few seeds

Turn on Also find related accounts and paste 3-5 accounts of the kind you want: the run adds the accounts Instagram suggests next to them (measured: 22 for one bakery, 38 for one seafood restaurant, none for some creators) and reads their contacts too. Set Max accounts to check to bound the run.

How much does it cost to scrape Instagram emails?

Instagram Email Scraper is pay-per-result: $6.10 per 1,000 contact records, no start fee. A record is one account written to the dataset. With the default any contact setting, accounts with no email, phone or WhatsApp are left out of the dataset and are not charged (choose every account to get them too).

Records	Cost
10	$0.061
100	$0.61
1,000	$6.10
10,000	$61.00

Apify platform usage is included in the price. The actor runs on 1,024 MB with no browser: 75 accounts took 3 minutes 27 seconds at the default settings; the 3-account example input takes about 9 seconds.

Integrations, API, scheduling & MCP

• Schedules: run a growing list daily or weekly from the Schedules tab; with monitorMode each run returns only accounts it has not delivered before.
• Webhooks: call a URL when a run finishes and push the records to your CRM, Slack or a sheet.
• No-code: Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, HubSpot and Airtable through Apify integrations.
• API: start runs and read datasets from Node.js or Python with apify-client; code is on the API tab.
• MCP / AI agents: connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP client through the MCP tab; compact keeps rows small.

Instagram contact limits & empty runs

• Instagram's contact button: the email and phone behind Instagram's Contact button are shown to signed-in users only, so they are not part of the output; contacts come from the bio, the bio links, the link-in-bio page and the website.
• Not every account publishes a contact: on the 75-account test run 34 accounts had no email, phone or WhatsApp in the bio, the link-in-bio page or the website pages read.
• Link-in-bio pages that render only in a browser (Beacons, visitstore.bio, komi.io, hoo.be) give no links to read; those accounts get whatever the bio and the page HTML carry.
• Sites that refuse automated visits: the actor retries through the Apify proxy; a site that still refuses is listed in the run summary.
• Speed: about 3 seconds per account at the default settings; raise Parallel accounts and the run memory for large lists.
• Empty dataset: every account had no contact, was filtered out, did not exist, or (with monitorMode) was already delivered - the status message and RUN_SUMMARY say which.

Does Instagram Email Scraper return the email from Instagram's Contact button?

No. Instagram shows that button only to signed-in users, and this actor does not log in.

Can I find contacts for accounts similar to mine with Instagram Email Scraper?

Yes. Turn on Also find related accounts: the accounts Instagram suggests next to each of yours are added to the run.

Can I run Instagram Email Scraper on a schedule?

Why did my Instagram Email Scraper run return no results?

In testing the causes were accounts that publish no contact anywhere, handles that do not exist (turn on includeUnavailable to see them), filters that removed every account, and monitor runs where every account was already delivered.

Is it legal to scrape Instagram contact details?

Instagram Email Scraper collects only information that is publicly visible without logging in: an account's public profile and the pages it links to. Contact details of people are personal data in most jurisdictions (for example under the GDPR), so make sure you have a lawful basis before you use them and honour opt-outs.
