Overview

Extract lists of Instagram profiles, places, or hashtags based on your search terms. Ideal for finding influencers, local businesses, or trending topics for market research.

This tool automates the process of gathering data from Instagram's search function, delivering structured lists of users, locations, or hashtags based on any keyword you provide. ### Find Your Next Customers, Partners, or Competitors Searching on Instagram is useful, but getting that data into a usable format is tedious. This tool does the heavy lifting, turning search results into a spreadsheet-ready list. You can run three types of searches: * **User Search:** Provide a keyword like "london personal trainer" or "SaaS founder" to get a list of relevant user profiles. The output includes their username, full name, follower and following counts, number of posts, biography, and any external URL they've listed. * **Place Search:** Ideal for local marketing, this allows you to search for a location (e.g., "downtown chicago") and get a list of Instagram-recognized places. This is a starting point for analyzing geo-tagged content and finding local businesses. * **Hashtag Search:** Track marketing campaigns, analyze trends, or find relevant content by searching for hashtags. You'll get a list of hashtags matching your keyword along with the total number of posts for each. ### Get Business Contact Information For user searches, you can enable an optional enhancement. For the top 10 profiles found, the tool will attempt to find a linked Facebook Business Page. This can often uncover a business email address not listed on the Instagram profile itself, which is invaluable for lead generation and outreach. Note that this feature is not guaranteed to find an email for every profile and you must comply with data privacy regulations in your jurisdiction.
