How to use

1. Navigate to Instagram Open instagram.com in Chrome and make sure you're logged in.
2. Open the InstaTracker extension Click the InstaTracker icon in your Chrome toolbar (you may need to pin it first).
3. Enter a username to track Type the Instagram username whose followers/following you want to snapshot (without the @).
4. Export followers, following, or both Click the corresponding button. The extension will slowly scrape the list (2-4s per page) to avoid rate limits. Progress is shown in the popup.
5. View results on this dashboard After the export completes, the snapshot is sent to this dashboard automatically. Come back here to see the data, timeline of changes, and compare accounts.

Tips

1. Take snapshots regularly The more often you snapshot, the more accurately InstaTracker can tell you when someone followed or unfollowed.
2. Don't rush it The extension intentionally goes slow. If you get rate-limited (429), it will automatically wait 60 seconds and retry.
3. Large accounts take longer An account with 10,000 followers will take ~10-15 minutes to export at 50 users per page with delays.
