Find Similar Instagram Accounts
View all Instagram Data API endpoints →Suggest accounts similar to a given public Instagram username or user ID. Pass username_or_id, e.g. mrbeast or 2278169415. The documented response returns a list of related account records with the usual identity fields: id, username, full_name, verification flag and profile picture. Treat suggestions as discovery leads to review, not as a measured similarity score — the endpoint does not expose why two accounts were linked, so validate each suggestion with a profile lookup before shortlisting.
API Features
Seed-based suggestions Pass one username or user ID and receive related account records to review.
Standard identity fields Suggestions carry id, username, full_name, is_verified and profile_pic_url for quick triage.
Shortlist expansion Turn a manually approved seed list into a broader candidate pool in one call per seed.
Verification-ready output Every suggestion resolves cleanly through the user info endpoint for confirmation.
