Instagram audience collection and export

Campaigns, competitor research and automation targets all need lists. IGFlow collects audiences from public Instagram data, enriches them with profile details and delivers them in the format you want.

Where can you collect from?

Data collection tasks and flow nodes can read:

  • Posts under a hashtag or location
  • The Explore feed
  • A profile's followers and following
  • People who liked or commented on a post
  • Tagged posts and story viewers (for your own account)

Output: CSV, Excel or Google Drive

Download the list as CSV or XLSX, or save it to your Google Drive folder. With a scheduled flow (for example "every Monday at 09:00") the list stays up to date. Optionally include profile details such as follower count, bio and private/verified status.

Offload the work to a read pool

Heavy data collection doesn't have to run on your main account. Read-only "read accounts" are used only to fetch data; no automation runs on them and each can have its own proxy. Your main account stays free for engagement.

Responsible use

The data collected is public profile information, but it can still be personal data. Using these lists for specific, legitimate purposes in line with regulations such as the GDPR is your responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

How many records can I collect in one run?

Ready-made recipes collect up to 5,000 records per run. For larger lists we recommend collecting in parts with a scheduled flow.

Can I collect the followers of private accounts?

No. Only public data you have access to is read.
