Does the Influencer Feature Fetch Instagram Information?

Mention no longer offers Instagram influencers for the Influencer Table or Influencer List due to Instagram Data Policy changes.

Only Twitter and Web influencers are available.

Legacy Account Behavior

For Mention Legacy accounts (created before 2018):

  • Instagram influencer data is visible only for mentions collected before December 1, 2018.

  • No new Instagram data populates after that date.

  • You cannot manually add Instagram accounts to lists.
