Discover Instagram creators with NextBrowser

Research a content niche from an Instagram profile in NextBrowser and build a creator shortlist with visible metrics and public contact sources.

About this reference video

The video shows the source task and its recorded outcome. The guide below explains how to run that task through NextBrowser: choose a profile and browser toolset, start a session, then supervise your local agent in Chat and Live View. Interface labels and results can differ from the recording.

Overview

Hashtag results identify posts, while outreach planning needs distinct creators and comparable metrics. NextBrowser can use your intended Instagram session to resolve authors, inspect profiles and assemble a shortlist. Preserve the sampled posts and the basis of each metric so duplicates and missing data remain visible.

What happens in the video

Using an already signed-in Instagram session, the agent collects 30 hashtag posts and deduplicates their authors into 27 profiles. It corrects author and bio-link extraction, resumes after connection problems, and displays a spreadsheet of profiles, visible Reel averages, links, and bio emails. The agent reports six visible emails and two profiles without visible Reel averages.

Before you start

  • NextBrowser on macOS or Windows, signed in through browser pairing
  • An installed and authenticated local agent: Claude Code or Codex from the ChatGPT desktop app
  • An Instagram account you can use, a niche query and a defined post sample size

Run this in NextBrowser

Follow these steps in your own NextBrowser workspace. The video summary records the source demonstration; your result needs the checks below.

  1. Prepare the NextBrowser session

    Select the profile holding your intended Instagram account, start the session and confirm the account in Live View. Sign in directly if needed; keep passwords and codes out of the research prompt.

  2. Give the local agent a scoped task

    Select your local agent in NextBrowser. Confirm the active profile and tab for Instagram hashtag results for the target niche. Submit the prompt below in Chat after replacing its placeholders. The selected profile name is guidance for the agent; check the actual session in the sidebar and Live View.

  3. Collect the task evidence

    Ask the agent to collect a bounded set of posts, resolve the actual author profiles and deduplicate them. Record profile URL, bio link, visible Reel metrics, the sample used for averages and any email explicitly shown in the bio.

  4. Review the result against the browser

    Compare authors and bio links with their profiles before ranking. After a connection failure, inspect the current session and resume from the saved list to avoid duplicates. Missing Reel averages and hidden contacts remain missing.

Send this prompt in NextBrowser Chat

Suggested prompt

Use the intended NextBrowser profile [profile name]. First confirm the running session, active tab and target site; stop if they do not match. Research Instagram creators under #[hashtag]. Collect public profile details, URLs, example Reels, available metrics, and published business emails. Deduplicate by profile and export a database with missing fields marked. Report source URLs, the actual amount collected and any incomplete checks. Keep this run to research; do not purchase, publish or change account settings.

Replace the placeholders, then send this in NextBrowser Chat with the intended profile and agent selected. This is a suggested task, not the recording transcript.

What to verify in your run

  • A deduplicated creator dataset linked to the sampled posts and profiles
  • Metric definitions and public contact provenance, with unavailable values identified

Questions about this workflow

Should every Reel create an influencer row?

Keep one creator record and associate example Reels with it to avoid counting the same person repeatedly.

Are business emails always available?

No. Collect only published addresses and leave missing contact information unavailable.
