Instagram Followers / Following Scraper

📌 Overview

The Instagram Followers / Following Scraper lets you extract the full list of followers or following accounts from any public Instagram profile — no login, no cookies required. Just provide a username, pick a scrape type, and get clean, structured JSON data for every account.

🚀 Features

• No login or cookies required ✅
• Scrape followers or following of any public Instagram account
• Returns structured profile data for each scraped user
• Supports pagination — scrape hundreds or thousands of accounts
• Cursor saving — resume scraping if interrupted (paid users)
• Free tier included — try before you subscribe

🔧 How It Works

1. Enter a public Instagram username
2. Choose whether to scrape followers or following
3. Set a max items limit (optional, default: 100)
4. The scraper fetches pages of results and saves each user to the dataset
5. Paid users receive a final cursor to resume scraping in a future run

🔖 Final Cursor Record (paid users only)

The last record in the dataset will contain the pagination cursor and total scraped count:

{
"cursor":"QVFDZjJmUTdQcGQ4VUluUFZMa3NLZ...",
"total_scraped":500
}

Use this cursor in a future run to resume from where you left off.

🔁 Resuming a Scrape

Paid users can resume an interrupted scrape by using the cursor returned in the final dataset record. Simply start a new run with the same username — use the cursor from previous run.

💳 Free vs Paid

Free users will see the message: 🔒 Upgrade your subscription to scrape more followers/following.
