What you get

Same field set as the Followers Scraper — see that actor’s field table. Key enrichment fields: public_email, contact_phone_number, external_url, bio_links, biography, category, is_business, follower_count, date_joined, country, enrichment_status.

Use cases

Partnership intelligence. See who a brand follows to discover their actual agency, PR firm, content creators, and business partners. These are confirmed business relationships — far more reliable than guessing.

Competitive supply chain research. See who your competitor follows — their tool providers, platforms, and service partners. Identify which vendors they trust and approach the same suppliers (or offer alternatives).

Influencer pre-vetting. Before signing an influencer partnership, see who they follow. If they follow 500 brands, they’re heavily monetized — your deal will be lost in the noise. If they follow thoughtfully curated accounts, their audience is more engaged.

Industry mapping. A thought leader’s following list is a manually curated directory of valuable people in their space. Extract it, enrich it, and you have a qualified prospect list for your niche.
