Yes — you can set a maximum follower count to control runtime and costs.
Will it get blocked by Instagram?
The scraper uses built-in rate-limiting logic to reduce blocking risks, but extremely high-volume runs may still be throttled.
Which export formats are supported?
JSON, CSV, and Excel are available for easy import into any workflow.
