Instagram has a category of accounts called Instagram business accounts that is very popular among influencers and creators.

There is no charge to convert your regular account into Instagram business account, so its usage have jumped from around 25 million accounts in 2017 to over 200 million such accounts now.

No advanced targeting possible

There is no way to filter users by follower count, category, geographical location etc.

No publicly accessible pages

Instagram now requires you to login to view any profile. Hence, scraping it now means that you have to do browser automation to login before scraping it. This means that you run risk of banning your account.

No keyword & negative keyword based search

Instagram has a terrible keyword search on bios and definitely no way to exclude profiles using a negative search.
