Scrape and sync Instagram profiles to Google Sheets

This automation template allows users to scrape comprehensive data from Instagram profiles and export the results into a Google Sheets spreadsheet for analysis. It utilizes the Apify web scraping tool to fetch the full profile details for a list of usernames, which are stored in a Google Sheet.

The workflow runs on a scheduled basis, retrieving the unscrapped usernames, processing them in batches, and appending the scraped data to the Google Sheet. This streamlines the data collection process, enabling users to easily analyze and gain insights from their Instagram audience.
