INSTAGRAM FOLLOWING SCRAPER
Collect the accounts an Instagram profile follows.
Enter an Instagram username to collect available accounts that profile follows. Caelario walks source pages internally, removes duplicate profiles, checkpoints progress and keeps the completed list ready to inspect or export.
RELATIONSHIP RECORDS
Turn a following drawer into a usable profile list.
Use the target username once. Caelario handles continuation internally and returns unique profiles up to the requested maximum.
Following, not followers
Collect the accounts the target follows. Use the separate Followers operation for the target's audience.
Internal page walking
Caelario follows bounded source pages and combines them into one eventual result set.
Unique profile records
Each delivered row can include the account identifier, username, display name, verification and profile image when available.
Saved progress and exports
Large collections run as jobs with progress, retries and JSON, CSV or Excel output.
ONE FOLLOWING PROFILE
Each relationship is a reusable account record.
The target account remains the collection context while each followed account is returned as its own row.
Example following result

}USERNAME TO FOLLOWING LIST

QUESTIONS
Instagram following questions.
What is the difference between followers and following?
Followers are accounts that follow the target. Following is the list of accounts the target chooses to follow. Caelario exposes them as separate operations.
Will a 5,000 request always return 5,000 profiles?
No. The requested limit is a maximum, not a guaranteed result count. Instagram may expose only part of a relationship list, and collection stops when no more profiles are visible.
How is the collection billed?
Each unique profile delivered costs two credits. Empty results are free and unused reserved credits are released.
Can I download the whole completed list?
Yes. Open the saved result or export the delivered profiles as JSON, CSV or Excel.
