ID Finder for Instagram™
Instantly reveal and copy the numeric ID of any Instagram user or post — perfect for API integration and development
About this extension
ID Finder for Instagram shows the numeric ID of any Instagram user or post. Go to a profile or post page and the ID appears — no URL copying or external tools needed.
Instagram numeric IDs matter for developers using the Instagram API, social media managers tracking accounts across platforms, and researchers who need identifiers that stay the same when usernames change.
Install and go. No setup, no account, free.
The extension detects user IDs and media IDs automatically as you browse, updating in real time when you navigate between profiles and posts. That makes it quick to collect multiple IDs in one session — useful for batch API calls, building influencer databases, or filling in account identifiers for social media management platforms. The ID is pulled from Instagram's page data, so it's accurate even when a profile has a custom URL or recently changed username. No pasting URLs into a lookup site, no leaving the Instagram tab.
Online Instagram ID lookup tools make you copy-paste usernames, wait for server responses, and deal with ads or rate limits. This extension gives you the answer immediately, right in your browser. App developers building Instagram integrations, growth marketers tracking influencer partnerships, researchers running social media studies, agencies onboarding client accounts — all of them need quick access to stable numeric IDs. No Instagram data is sent to any server; everything stays in your browser.
Why You Need This
Instagram API Development
Building an app with the Instagram API? You need numeric user and media IDs for API calls. This extension gives you those IDs without URL parsing or API Explorer lookups.
Cross-Platform Account Tracking
Social media managers tracking the same accounts across platforms need stable identifiers. Numeric IDs don't change when usernames do, so they're reliable for linking profiles in databases and dashboards.
Influencer Analytics & Research
Agencies and brands pull influencer data through analytics platforms using numeric IDs. Quick access to those IDs makes building influencer lists and setting up tracking faster.
Third-Party Tool Configuration
Scheduling tools, CRMs, and automation platforms often require Instagram numeric IDs during setup. This extension shows you the exact ID — no guessing, no searching through settings.
