Frequently Asked Questions
How do I build an Instagram influencer database?
Start by collecting Instagram profiles using the CreatorCrawl profile endpoint. For each creator, pull their recent posts and Reels to calculate engagement rates. Store everything in your database and schedule regular updates to keep the data fresh. This gives you a proprietary influencer database you fully control.
What data should an Instagram influencer database include?
A useful Instagram influencer database should include follower count, average likes per post, engagement rate, posting frequency, content niche, verified status, Reels performance, and comment sentiment. CreatorCrawl provides all of these data points through its profile, posts, reels, and comments endpoints.
How accurate is the influencer data from CreatorCrawl?
Every API call returns live data fetched in real time. Unlike platforms that cache data for days or weeks, CreatorCrawl pulls fresh stats on every request. This means the follower counts, post stats, and engagement metrics in your influencer database are always current.
Can I track Instagram influencer growth over time?
Yes. Schedule regular API calls to the profile endpoint and store historical snapshots. Track follower growth rate, engagement rate changes, posting frequency shifts, and content format evolution. This historical data helps you identify rising creators and predict future performance.
How many influencer profiles can I pull per day?
There are no rate limits. You can pull as many profiles as you have credits for, at whatever concurrency your application supports. Developers regularly process tens of thousands of influencer profiles per day through the CreatorCrawl API.
