They typically keep emails hidden unless the account is a business profile and the user has chosen to make it public. That said, for pulling public facing data, tools like phantombuster, igLeads.io, or even scrapebox with the right custom setups can still get you decent results.

Yeah, AI isn't too remarkable with making code. Still feels juvenile at this state but quite impressive, I'll be honest.
That said, can't say I have much by way of commercially available scrapers since I rely on custom made tools. You could have one made for you on Hire a Freelancer if that suits your fancy: https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/hire-a-freelancer.76/

You could try using tools like PhantomBuster or ScraperAPI for scraping Instagram profiles, though scraping social media comes with legal and ethical considerations. For a DIY approach, using BeautifulSoup with Python could work if you’re up for coding!
Yep, I'm consider this option. Do you have an idea of how much that could cost?
I also add another option to the great suggestions so far: Apify. I'm trying some tests and it's doing ok, although I wish they were more straightforward with their pricing.

Phantombuster is quite reliable. It's a good tool for scraping.

It depends on a lot of factors and specifics when you get down to it. I might well be a terrible litmus test for that since, for the tools I need, I'd usually have a couple of grand on standby. I don't think you'll be looking for agency developers so you likely won't spend anywhere near that much for a simple enough tool. Helps to get some info from the actual freelancers or professionals you'd be hiring though, check their rates and all.

scrapebox + addons
Great point.
I'm doing this scrape cause I already have a buyer. They want a list of all professionals Ina certain niche worldwide, so there's good money potential, but you're right to check prices beforehand. It's trickier that I thought, cause the final cost is never clear.
The only clear one if Phantombuster, cause it's a monthly retainer, but it gets expensive at the sale I want to do this.
I had good hopes for Apify, but I'm not impressed so far, and most scapers sold there are monthly fee + usage (so again, no way to clearly predict how much this could cost).
Hi, I've been using Give Me Data and its been working wonders on all of my accounts. Its very affordable price wise and its so easy to use that even dummies like me can do it lol no proxies vpn's and stuff like that - straight forward and easy.

If you are looking to do scraping yourself, there are many people on blackhatworld that can make you a script (Post in the "want-to-buy" section. However, there are some public api tools available for you to do the same thing, but you would need to get scraper IG accounts to do that. Scraper accounts are accounts that are used to "scrape" users. Since scraping itself is a risky action on instagram, many of the die. Just keep that in mind
Does GMD provide the email address of each profile (if used in the profile page, of course)?
It does yes. It provides all public data available on the account - followers, following, email, phone number, location etc.
