Find everyone you follow on Instagram who doesn't follow you back.
You control the browser — log in manually, scroll through your lists, and the script captures every username as it appears. Results are saved to a CSV.
- Python 3.10+
- pip
pip install playwright
python -m playwright install chromiumpython find_non_followers.py your_usernameThe script opens a real Chrome browser window and walks you through three steps:
Step 1 — Log in The browser opens on the Instagram login page. Sign in normally (including 2FA if you have it), then press Enter in the terminal.
Step 2 — Followers The browser navigates to your profile. Click "X followers" to open the followers list, then scroll all the way through it. The terminal shows a live count as names are captured. Press Enter when you've reached the bottom.
Step 3 — Following The browser reloads your profile. Click "X following", scroll through the entire list, and press Enter when done.
The script then compares both lists and saves the results.
A CSV file is saved in the same folder as the script:
non_followers_yourname_20260525_143012.csv
| username | profile_url |
|---|---|
| someuser | https://www.instagram.com/someuser/ |
Open it directly in Excel or Google Sheets.
- Scroll at a steady pace — the terminal count confirms names are being picked up
- If you scroll too fast and miss some, just run it again
- All browser cache and session data is wiped automatically at the end of each run — nothing is stored between uses
- The browser window must stay open while scrolling
This tool runs entirely on your machine. No data is sent anywhere — it only reads what's visible in your own browser window. Instagram credentials are never stored or logged.
