Official account export
Best for your own account data, including followers and following lists. This is the safest path because it comes from Instagram Accounts Center.

How to export Instagram public data to JSON
People search for Instagram public data exports when they want profile, post, bio, or follower information in a structured file. The important distinction is ownership: your own account export is safe and official; broad public scraping is restricted and unreliable.

Reviewed for Instagram export format, JSON/HTML support, and privacy-safe parsing.
Three realistic methods
Manual public profile review
Best for lightweight checks of a public bio, post count, profile category, and visible account details. It is not a scalable export.
Approved platform tools
Best for businesses that need reporting inside Meta Business Suite or approved analytics products. Availability depends on account type and permissions.
Got your Instagram ZIP already?
Upload it to Unfollio and see who does not follow back without entering your Instagram password. Your ZIP is read in your browser, and saved audit history is optional.
What you should not do
Avoid tools that promise unlimited public follower exports without explaining permissions, rate limits, or platform rules. Those workflows often break, return stale data, or create account risk.

"string_list_data": [
{
"value": "username",
