Instagram Follower Scraping Tools?
I’m interested in a tool that can (**A)** compile a list of an account’s followers and **(B)** arrange the accounts by size (in order of most to least followers). Does anyone know if such a tool exists?
The reason behind this is very simple-
I work with brands that sell products. I’d like a way to see the top 5-10 biggest accounts that my clients are being followed by so that we can reach out to them with free samples and/or for promotions. This is a great starting point for promo campaigns- reaching out to large accounts that are already following the brand I’m working with.
Does such a tool exist? It shouldn’t be against Instagram TOS because it does not involve any automation or spam-like activity, just scraping/sorting followers.
One more thought: I’m sure I can find/write a simple web script to scrape followers and generate a text file with their names, but can’t think of a way to do the actual sorting without manually checking every single account.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I looked for this for hours about a year ago and came up with nothing.

There’s a platform that does this and it’s called Pulsar. It also looks at spheres of influence and network graphing. Also Sprinklr. It will list your followers by influence and reach. Other tools will look at ‘mentions’ of your brand and list those accounts who have talked about your brand by follower count or total reach. But these don’t look specifically at your followers, just mentions of you/your brand.

Why would you need to “manually” check each account’s followers when you are already automating to scrape the followers.

I can build this custom scraper for you, I don’t see a reason to subscribe to weird chrome extensions for this kind of relatively easy scraping job. DM me if you are interested.
