How it worksNot a hashtag crawl. A live India creator graph.
Generic Instagram scrapers start from URLs you already have. Indra starts from an India-only index of 2.4 million public creators, then returns the next matching profiles with followers, engagement, and views already filled in.
The three-step job
- Filter — category (120 verticals), follower bracket (nano to mega), regional focus (650+ cities), average views, optional handle search.
- Walk — sequential crawl through the graph. Each profile is tested against your filters. Matches are written one by one until
resultsLimit. - Export — JSON, CSV, or Excel from the run, or
apify-client/ MCP for agents.
What this is not
- Not a post/reel link scraper
- Not a follower-list scraper
- Not a global influencer SaaS
If you already have Instagram URLs and only want views on those posts, use a post scraper. If you need who to shortlist in India, use Indra — actor s4XRSzZuVqawl63Ih.
