Instagram scrapper username

[eaglehunter]

I am trying to do follow/unfollow on my account, however, I am trying to target people based on location.
Is there any scraper out there where I could get a list of usernames of a user's followers based on location
So for example I want a list of usernames following @Instagram that live in Belgium?

Thank you

This is not possible. What best you can do is scrape users who have been to a particular location and their followers. It can be done with jarvee.

You mean someone who added a location " Washington" for example on their pictures?

yes. If someone have been to washington you could scrape users based on location or you could scrape followers of such users who've been to washington.

Okay thats amazing.. And only Jarvee can do that?
I am not looking to pay a monthly fee, would rather just pay for a scraper that could do that instead.. Way easier

I don't think you can find such scraper which have this feature and comes with one off payment. Better goto hire a freelancer section and get one custom coded.

I guess it makes sense but someone writing a custom coded scraper for me will cost me so much more than a jarvee subscription haha

Only think is that I saw a while back people selling scrappers for instagram but now for some reason I cant find any of them

Scrape it's a good method.
But try also using as sources: local tobacconists, local post-offices, local hair-dresser, local associations, small local sport teams ecc. ecc.

There is no location search within instagram. You can scrape explore location URLs for specific locations:
https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/

Or filter on the users location property from a search. However, this is not always filled in so is not 100% accurate.

Also you need to be aware, it is a restrictive filter, so you need to make sure your search is likely to return results. For example, scraping the followers of a populat Belgian artist, is going to find many Belgians. Scraping the followers of a popular Russian account, less so. Also, an additional scrape to get the location information is required. This parameter is NOT included in the usual information for the account returned in the search (a followers of search will provide a few bits of information on the account, but not all - so an additional search is required per result).

If you were thinking of trying to scrape 500k followers of an account and check the location of each, it isn't going to happen without a block from ISG due to too many requests (even with pausing / delays). If you want to do this, you will need to share the searching (and filtering) across multiple accounts.

i.e.
use one account and you need to scrape 500k users full details
use 100 accounts and you "only " need to scrape 500 each.
