FAQ

Find Instagram user ID FAQ

How do I find an Instagram user ID?+
Paste a public Instagram username or profile URL into the tool. It fetches the public profile page and tries to extract the numeric Instagram user ID from the page source.
Can I find Instagram user ID by username?+
Yes. Plain usernames like `instagram`, `@instagram`, and full profile URLs are supported.
Is this the numeric Instagram user ID?+
Yes. The output is the numeric Instagram user ID, not just the public username.
What if the tool cannot find the Instagram user ID?+
Sometimes Instagram limits the public profile response. In that case, open the profile page source and paste it into the fallback field so the tool can search for `profile_id` or `profilePage_` patterns.
Can I find Instagram user ID from page source?+
