How this service works
Get the accounts a user follows by username or profile URL.
Output
Returns a paginated list of Instagram accounts (up to 50 per page) that the specified user follows. Each entry typically includes account username, display name, profile details, and follower/following counts. Up to 40 pages (2,000 accounts) can be fetched. If a search query is provided, returns up to 50 matching accounts from the following list in a single request.
Example use cases
Competitor influencer network analysis
“Show me all the accounts that @nike follows on Instagram — get me up to 5 pages so I can see their full network.”
Search a brand's following for partners
“Look up who @patagonia follows on Instagram and search their following list for any accounts matching 'sustainability'.”
Audit a creator's following list
“I need to see the accounts followed by the Instagram profile at https://instagram.com/natgeo — just the first page is fine.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/instagram/user/following?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate or search the accounts that a specific Instagram user follows, identified by username or profile URL. It is the right choice for influencer research, brand network mapping, and competitive audits where you need paginated access to a following list rather than just a user's profile or their posts.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent username/URL returns an error or empty result
- Private Instagram accounts may not expose their following list
- Neither username nor URL provided results in a validation error
- pages parameter out of range (below 1 or above 40) causes a parameter error
- Rate limiting or Instagram-side blocking may return partial or no results
- search query exceeding 100 characters triggers a validation error
