Brave Instagram Search

Fast, high-volume Instagram lead generation using Brave Search API. Gets 100+ leads in under a minute by searching Google-indexed Instagram profiles.

When to Use

  • User says "brave instagram", "brave search", or "use brave"
  • Need 100+ leads quickly
  • Want volume over rich contact data
  • Previous agent-browser method is blocked/returning 0 leads
  • User explicitly requests this skill

Quick Start

cd skills/brave-instagram-search/scripts
npx tsx brave-search-leads.ts 100

Output

  • Saves to SQLite database (avoids duplicates)
  • Appends to master CSV file (leads/instagram-leads-master.csv)
  • Reports lead count with contact info stats

How It Works

1. Brave Search API queries Google-indexed Instagram profiles 2. Search terms rotate through insurance niches (carriers, states, specialties) 3. Duplicate detection via database hash constraint 4. CSV + Drive upload for easy access

Search Term Categories

  • Core roles: insurance agent, broker, advisor, specialist
  • Product niches: life, final expense, medicare, iul, annuities
  • Carriers: major insurers + imo/fmo partners
  • States: geographic targeting (50 states rotate)
  • Titles: agency manager, upline, wholesaler, producer
Tip: When leads dry up, update SEARCH_TERMS in the script with fresh carriers, states, or niche keywords.

Notes

  • No phone/email extraction — use agent-browser skill for that
  • Fast iteration — run multiple times for 500+ leads
  • Duplicate-free — database prevents re-scraping same profiles
  • Master CSV — all leads appended to single file at leads/instagram-leads-master.csv
