🔍 Instagram Profiles Discover

Find thousands of Instagram profiles in any niche, any country — in minutes.

🚀 What is this?

Instagram Profiles Discover automatically finds real Instagram creator profiles matching any keyword — fitness coaches, travel bloggers, food photographers, real estate agents, and more — across 30 countries in their local language.

Whether you're building influencer lists, doing market research, or growing your outreach pipeline, this tool does in minutes what would take your team days.

✨ What to Expect

• 🌍 Multi-country discovery — target one or many countries simultaneously
• 🗣️ Native language search — finds profiles that only appear in Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Hindi, and more
• 📦 Clean dataset output — username, profile URL, Google snippet, and keyword for every profile
• ⚡ Smart stopping — automatically skips exhausted queries and stops the moment your target count is reached
• 💰 Pay only for results — you're charged per discovered profile, not per run

💡 Pro tip: For non-English countries, enter your keywords in the local language for dramatically better results.

❌ Less effective	✅ Much better

fitness coach → Japan	フィットネスコーチ → Japan

💳 Pricing

You are charged only for profiles successfully delivered to your dataset. There are no charges for failed searches, empty pages, or duplicate profiles that were filtered out.

Example: Discovering 5,000 profiles costs $7.50. Set your maximum charge per run in the Apify Console to stay within budget — the actor stops automatically when your limit is reached.

❓ FAQ

How many profiles can I get per keyword? Hundreds to thousands depending on how broad the keyword is and how many countries you target. Common niches like "fitness coach" targeting the US can yield 500+ unique profiles.

Will I get duplicate profiles? No. Deduplication is applied across all queries and countries — each profile URL appears only once in your dataset.

Why do Arabic / Japanese / Chinese searches return better results with native keywords? Search engines index Instagram pages in the language the profile is written in. A search for travel blogger in Arabic-speaking markets finds mostly English-bio profiles. Searching for مدون سياحي finds the locally popular creators your competitors aren't finding.

What does the snippet field contain? It's the short description Google shows under each search result — usually the profile bio, follower count, or a recent caption. Useful for quick qualification without visiting each profile.

Can I filter by follower count? Not directly in input — but the snippet field often contains follower counts (e.g. 511K followers), which you can filter in your spreadsheet or downstream tool after export.
