}

Input Fields

Output

The actor saves each profile’s data to the Instagram Profiles dataset in JSON records.

Example output record (dataset row):

{
"keyword":"marketing",
"full_name":"Example Name",
"biography":"Example bio text",
"followers":12345,
"following":678,
"post_count":90,
"external_url":"https://example.com",
"profile_pic_url":"https://example.com/pic.jpg",
"source":"Search Engine",
"url":"https://www.instagram.com/exampleusername/"
}

Output Fields

Note: The actor also enriches additional fields during collection (e.g., user_id, is_verified, account type flags, and HD profile pic URL), and merges them into the pushed item. Dataset display is configured to show the fields listed above.

You can export the dataset from the Apify UI (JSON/CSV options depend on the dataset export tools you choose).
