Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Bulk extraction of Instagram "About this account" transparency data to determine account creation date and origin country, detect former usernames and username-change history, and collect verification status, account type and category. The connector produces structured account metadata per profile including parsed creation date (month/year), a computed account age in years, country of registration, former username history and a name-change indicator, verification flag, account classification (personal/creator/business), follower/following/post counts, biography text, external link and public email when present, profile picture URL, and a timestamped check. Designed for large-scale processing of Instagram profiles to support profile provenance and metadata analysis.
