Instagram Profile Analyzer
Analyze public Instagram profiles using Apify. Get a fast snapshot of posting activity, engagement metrics, content mix, and timeline span. Paid users unlock deep AI analysis via background processing and result polling.
How it works
Username Input
Enter a public Instagram username, with or without the at-symbol, to begin profile analysis using public data sources.
Profile Data Fetching
The tool fetches profile and post data through Apify without requiring login, cookies, or private account access.
Snapshot Analysis
A fast snapshot is generated covering posting activity, engagement metrics, content mix, and timeline span.
Deterministic Metrics
Rule-based metrics such as posts per week, average caption length, and engagement per post are computed.
AI Deep Analysis
Paid users trigger an Inngest background job that performs deeper behavioral and audience analysis asynchronously.
Result Polling
When deep analysis is processing, subsequent requests return enhanced insights once the background job completes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the profile analyzer work only with public Instagram accounts?
Yes. The tool uses only public data; private accounts may return limited or no results.

You will get limited or no data; the tool cannot access private posts or non-public metrics.
What additional insights are unlocked when upgrading to paid deep analysis?
Paid users get AI-generated insights on strengths, weaknesses, and growth opportunities from deeper analysis.
Why do some paid insights take additional time to appear after submission?
Paid deep analysis runs in a background job; results appear once processing completes.

Metrics are based on whatever public posts are available; limited history means less representative metrics.
