Overview

Starts with a few Instagram usernames you provide and follows the "Suggested for you" feature to uncover a list of similar accounts for influencer marketing or market research.

Finding relevant influencers, communities, or potential partners on Instagram can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. This tool automates the discovery process, saving you hours of manual scrolling. Instead of browsing profile by profile, you provide a few "seed" accounts—profiles that perfectly represent the niche you're targeting. The tool then spiders out from those starting points, following Instagram's own recommendations to find similar accounts. It's like having a research assistant who understands the connections between different profiles. You can control the scope of the search with precision. Set a maximum number of profiles to find, define how many degrees of separation to crawl from your seed accounts (the 'crawl depth'), and filter out smaller accounts by setting a minimum follower count. This ensures the final list is both relevant and meets your criteria. The final output is a clean list of discovered Instagram usernames. This list is the perfect starting point for a more detailed analysis using a profile scraping tool, or for direct outreach and engagement campaigns.
