Frequently Asked Questions
You can export followers of public accounts, and of private accounts that you follow — anything Instagram lets you see in the followers dialog.
The extension keeps collecting as long as the followers dialog keeps loading. Very large accounts may take multiple sessions because Instagram paginates the list slowly.
The followers list itself contains usernames and names only. To surface publicly listed contact channels for research, scrape the individual profiles and run bio-link enrichment in your InsightSocial dashboard.
Extracting publicly available data for research, competitive analysis, or legitimate business purposes is generally permitted. Review Instagram's Terms of Service for your specific use case.
No notification is sent. The extension reads the same followers dialog you see when browsing normally.
Yes. The same scrape type covers both directions — pick Followers to export who follows an account, or Following to export the accounts that profile follows. Identical columns and export formats either way.
