Overview

Extract the complete 'Following' list from any public Instagram profile. Get usernames, full names, and verification status for competitor analysis or audience discovery, without needing to log in.

Understanding a competitor's strategy or an influencer's network starts with knowing who they associate with and endorse. This tool lets you extract the list of accounts any public Instagram user is following, providing valuable data for market research, lead generation, and competitive intelligence. Simply provide one or more Instagram profile usernames or URLs, and the tool will return a list of every account they follow. The key advantage is its 'no cookie' approach, meaning you don't need to connect your own Instagram account or be logged in to use it. This makes the data collection process more straightforward and private. ### What you get For each account on a user's 'following' list, you'll receive key profile details including: * **Username and Full Name:** The account's handle and display name. * **User ID:** The unique numerical identifier for the account. * **Profile Picture:** A direct URL to their profile photo. * **Verification Status:** Whether the account has a blue checkmark. * **Privacy Status:** If the account is public or private. * **Latest Reel Timestamp:** The date of their most recent Reel, indicating account activity.
