Inputs

FieldWhat it doesType
profilesPublic Instagram usernames, @handles, or profile URLs. Empty input emits one labeled, uncharged sample row without using credentials or proxy.array
listTypeExtract followers, following, or both relationship lists.string
maxItemsPerProfileMaximum relationship profiles returned for each source profile and selected list.integer
sessionCookiesOptional. Runs use a built-in session by default, which is shared with everyone else running this Actor. Supply your own Instagram account cookie here to get a private rate limit that no other user shares. In Chrome: F12 -> Application -> Cookies -> https://www.instagram.com, then copy the sessionid value. Pasting the whole cookie string works too. Cookie values are never logged or written to the output.array
maxAttemptsBounded retries across rotating configured accounts and sticky proxy sessions.integer
requestTimeoutSecondsTimeout for each Instagram web API request.integer
maxRunSecondsHard wall-clock bound for profile resolution and relationship pagination.integer

What you get

A structured dataset — each result includes fields like:

usernamefullNamelistTypesourceUsernameisPrivateisVerifiedprofileUrl

Export every run as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send it to your app, a database, Google Sheets, or an AI agent.
