Instagram Full Profile Scraper with Apify & Google Sheets

This n8n workflow enables automated extraction of comprehensive public Instagram profile data using a custom Apify actor. It triggers on a schedule, pulls a list of usernames from a designated Google Sheet, batches them for efficiency, calls the Apify API to scrape detailed profile information, then appends the results to a second sheet while updating the original to mark items as processed. This ensures reliable, hands-off data collection without manual intervention.

Key benefits include time savings on bulk profile research, seamless integration between Apify's powerful scraping capabilities and Google Sheets for easy data management and sharing, and built-in tracking to avoid duplicates. It's ideal for marketing teams gathering competitor insights, lead generation from influencers, or market research on social media trends.

Use cases span social media analysis, influencer outreach campaigns, competitive intelligence, and content strategy planning. Setup requires Google Sheets credentials, Apify API token, and a prepared sheet with 'Usernames' and 'fullprofiles' tabs. The workflow handles aggregation and limiting for scalability, making it robust for ongoing operations.
