Instagram Follower Counter (Bulk)

Monitor Instagram follower counts at scale for competitive analysis and influencer research. Paste a list of profile URLs, and this actor returns follower counts, following counts, post counts, and bios without launching a browser. Fast, lightweight, and designed for scheduled runs that feed dashboards and spreadsheets.

Features

• Bulk input — check dozens or hundreds of Instagram profiles in one run
• No headless browser — extracts data from public HTML meta tags for speed and low cost
• Three key metrics — follower count, following count, and post count per profile
• Profile bio extraction — captures the bio text alongside numeric stats
• Schedule-friendly — run daily or weekly to build a follower-growth time series
• Pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for profiles successfully checked

Input

Input Example

{
"urls":[
"https://www.instagram.com/instagram/",
"https://www.instagram.com/nike/",
"https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/"
]
}

Output

Each profile produces one dataset item containing the input URL, username, display name, follower count, following count, post count, and bio. If a profile cannot be reached, the item includes an error field.

Output Example

{
"inputUrl":"https://www.instagram.com/natgeo/",
"username":"natgeo",
"fullName":"National Geographic",
"followerCount":"284M",
"followingCount":"198",
"postCount":"32.7K",

• Instagram may restrict meta-tag data for private or age-gated profiles. The actor returns whatever is publicly available.
• Counts are returned as formatted strings (e.g. "284M") matching Instagram's display format.
