3. Open Meta Account Center.
4. Under Your Information and Permissions, choose Download Your Information.
5. Select your account.
6. Make sure Followers and Following are included in the data you request. I recommend unticking everything else so the request is easier.
7. Set the format to JSON.
8. Submit the request. Instagram will email you a download link.

10. Find the followers and following JSON files in the extracted folder.

Data Privacy

All files are processed locally on your machine. Nothing is sent to external servers.

The app also stores a few local helper files next to app.py:

• .history.json for change tracking
• .last_data.json for metadata lookup

These are ignored by Git and stay on your machine.

Stopping the Server

Press Ctrl + C in the PowerShell terminal to stop the server.
