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 is a handy browser extension that instantly shows the numeric ID of any Instagram user or post. Simply navigate to a profile or post page and the ID appears automatically — no copying URLs or using external tools.
Instagram numeric IDs are useful for developers integrating with the Instagram API, social media managers tracking accounts across platforms, and researchers who need permanent identifiers that remain stable even when usernames change.
Zero setup required — just install and start browsing Instagram as usual. The extension is lightweight, privacy-friendly, and completely free to use.
The extension detects both user IDs and media IDs automatically as you browse Instagram, updating in real time as you navigate between profiles and posts. This makes it fast to collect multiple IDs in a single session — ideal for batch API calls, building influencer databases, or populating social media management platforms with account identifiers. The ID is read directly from Instagram's page data, ensuring accuracy even when a profile has a custom URL or recently changed username. Because it requires no manual input like pasting URLs into a lookup website, the workflow stays seamless and you never have to leave the Instagram tab.
Compared to online Instagram ID lookup tools that require you to copy-paste usernames, wait for server responses, and deal with ads or rate limits, this extension delivers results instantly within your browser with no external dependencies. App developers building Instagram integrations, growth marketers tracking influencer partnerships, academic researchers conducting social media studies, and social media agencies onboarding new client accounts all rely on quick access to stable numeric identifiers. The extension's privacy-first approach means no Instagram data is transmitted to any server — everything stays in your browser. Combined with its zero-configuration design and completely free pricing, it stands out as the simplest and most reliable way to find Instagram numeric IDs for any professional or development workflow.
