Instagram

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Score Instagram profiles as outreach and partnership leads. Get niche, account type, brand safety, a fit score against your brand brief, and a ready to send opening line for each profile.

Read full description

A tool that converts a list of Instagram usernames into scored, actionable leads by scraping profile metadata and applying automated qualification: it extracts profile metadata (name, bio, follower/following/post counts, verification and business indicators, category, website and public contact info), detects the profile's niche, classifies account type (business / creator / personal / brand), assesses brand safety with a short rationale, computes a numeric fit score (0–100) against a provided brand brief or general lead quality, generates a one-sentence explanation for the score, and produces a personalized outreach opener suitable for a DM or email.
