How this service works
Search Apify Store actors, start actor runs, and fetch results over x402 and MPP.
Output
A list of Instagram user profiles (followers or following) for the specified accounts, including profile data such as usernames and associated metadata, up to the requested results limit. Results are returned as structured JSON records from the completed Apify actor run.
Example use cases
Influencer audience research
“Pull the first 1,000 followers of the Instagram account 'cristiano' so I can analyze who makes up his audience.”
Competitor following analysis
“I want to see who the Instagram account 'nike' is following — fetch their Following list, up to 500 accounts.”
Brand ambassador prospecting
“Get me up to 5,000 followers of the Instagram account 'redbull' so I can identify potential brand ambassadors.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://stableapify.dev/api/actors/scraping_solutions/instagram-scraper-followers-following-no-cookies/callWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract Instagram follower or following lists without managing cookies or sessions yourself. It is ideal for audience research, competitive analysis, and influencer prospecting at scale. Prefer this over manual scraping or cookie-dependent scrapers when you need a pay-per-call, no-auth-setup approach with results up to 500,000 profiles.
Side effects
- Invalid or private Instagram account — scraper cannot access follower data for private profiles
- Results limit below minimum (25) or above maximum (500,000) causes validation error
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-bot measures may reduce results or cause partial runs
- Payment failure via x402/MPP at $0.01 USDC per call blocks execution
- Missing required fields (Account, resultsLimit, dataToScrape) returns schema validation error
- Actor run timeout for very large follower counts
