Instagram Profile Scraper — bio, followers and posts as clean JSON

Scrape public Instagram profiles: bio, follower and following counts, posts, engagement metrics and external links — for any public username, delivered as structured JSON. Built for influencer research, brand monitoring, competitor analysis and AI agents that need fresh Instagram data.

Use this tool when…

• You need Instagram profile data at scale: followers, bio, posts for a list of accounts.
• You want to monitor competitors or partners on Instagram with real numbers.
• Your AI agent needs social profile data — via the Apify MCP server, Claude/GPT/Cursor/n8n can call it with zero glue code.
• You're vetting influencers: check real follower counts and engagement before paying for a collab.

Features

• Full profile extraction: username, full name, bio, external URL, follower/following counts, post count, verified flag, business category when available.
• Recent posts with engagement: likes, comments, post type, timestamp, caption.
• Batch mode: scrape dozens of usernames in a single run.
• No login required — public data only.
• Structured JSON output, downloadable as JSON, CSV or Excel, or streamed via the Apify API.
• AI-agent ready: README and input schema readable by LLMs through MCP.
