Save hours of manual work and extract Instagram followers from a followers list in minutes.
This Instagram scraper automation will help you:
Export the list of Instagram followers from any account into a CSV file
Download the basic profile data for each user, including username, name, and profile URL
Set up any Instagram workflow from here by going on to auto follow or interact with the extracted followers
All of this takes place in the cloud. This means you don't need to open your browser or computer for it to work.
Note
The Phantom will pick up from where it left off in the launches that follow within ~6 hours of the first launch, so you should schedule all launches for one profile within this time.
Due to a Instagram's limitations, a maximum of 50 followers will be displayed for certain profiles. In these cases, this is all the user data this Phantom will be able to access.
Sometimes there's a discrepancy between the follower count on Instagram and the output of the Phantom. Instagram's follower counts are not always correct since certain profiles that are banned, deleted, or otherwise unavailable may still be counted in the follower count, but will not be scraped by the Phantom.
How to export Instagram followers
This Phantom will automatically export a list of followers from an Instagram account along with Instagram data, including their profile page URL, username, and privacy setting, in just a few easy steps.
Check out the Tutorial tab for a detailed written guide.
Note:
The best results come steadily over time. Because we care about the safety of your account, we strongly suggest using this Phantom at a moderate rate.
To scrape safely and efficiently, we recommend launching the Phantom a maximum of 20 times per day, spread throughout daytime hours.
Why should you export Instagram followers?
By scraping Instagram data from a list of followers, you can quickly identify Instagram users who might be interested in your brand or your profile, like influencers or small brands.
This strategy is the first building block for any Instagram account growth strategy. Here are the top use cases for this automation:
Grow your account organically by auto-following Instagram users
Choose the Instagram account profile you're extracting followers from wisely, whether it's an influencer or a brand competitor.
That way, your Instagram followers list becomes a ready-made list of people to follow who are likely to follow you back (since you know they're already into similar content).
Follow these users automatically with our Instagram Followers Auto Follow Phantom.
Collect insights for a list of Instagram users
Find out more about the followers you're targeting, whether your competitor or your own, using this Instagram ProfileScraper automation to source all available Instagram profile data from the list.
Keep track of your own or other user's Instagram followers' count
Stay on top of new followers using this Phantom's "Watcher mode," which will export new social media followers as they appear and add them to your spreadsheet file along with the rest.
