Overview

Analyze public Instagram accounts to detect bots, fake followers, and low-quality influencers. Get a detailed breakdown of signals like follower-to-following ratios, profile completeness, and engagement rates to assess account authenticity.

Fake followers, bot networks, and engagement pods create a distorted view of an influencer's true reach and a brand's actual community. Spending marketing budget on accounts with inflated metrics means reaching bots, not customers. This tool addresses that problem by analyzing public Instagram profiles against a set of signals that often indicate inauthentic activity. It takes a list of Instagram usernames or URLs and evaluates each one, producing a final 'Bot Score' from 0 (very likely human) to 1 (very likely bot). This score is supplemented by a 'Confidence' level, indicating how certain the analysis is. ### How It Works The tool doesn't just look at one thing. It combines multiple data points into a single, understandable score. Key signals include: * **Profile Attributes:** It checks for signs of low-effort accounts, such as having the default profile picture, a nonsensical username (`usernameEntropy`), or a missing biography. * **Follower vs. Following Ratio:** A classic indicator of bot activity is an account that follows thousands of people but has very few followers. The tool calculates this ratio and scores it. * **Account Type & History:** It identifies whether an account is a business, professional, or verified account, which often corresponds to a lower bot likelihood. It also factors in the number of posts and highlights. * **Engagement Analysis:** For public accounts, it can assess the average engagement rate. An account with 100,000 followers but only 10 likes per post is a significant red flag. This tool is built for influencer marketers vetting potential partners, brands auditing their follower base, and agencies cleaning up client accounts before a campaign.
