Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | No | City name from profile | |
| race | No | Dominant race filter | |
| exact | No | If true, exact category match instead of ILIKE substring. Default false. | |
| limit | Yes | Max rows to return (required, 1-100) | |
| gender | No | Gender filter (man/male, woman/female) | |
| country | No | Country name or ISO code (e.g. 'US', 'Russia', 'DE') | |
| emotion | No | Dominant emotion filter | |
| hashtag | No | Hashtag from posts without # (e.g. 'london', 'newyork', 'fitness') | |
| max_age | No | Maximum age | |
| min_age | No | Minimum age | |
| sort_by | No | Sort dimension. `followers` (default) is indexed; the other options scan more rows so narrow the result set with other filters first. | followers |
| category | No | Instagram business category. ILIKE substring by default (e.g. 'fitness' matches 'Fitness Trainer' / 'Fitness Model' / 'Sports & Fitness Instruction'). Pass `exact=true` for case-insensitive equality. Call `list_business_categories` to see the full taxonomy. | |
| location | No | Location from posts (e.g. 'London', 'New York', 'Paris') | |
| has_email | No | Only accounts with a non-empty public_email | |
| has_phone | No | Only accounts with a non-empty contact_phone_number | |
| is_private | No | Filter by account privacy (false = public only) | |
| sort_order | No | desc | |
| is_verified | No | Only verified accounts | |
| include_face | No | Include `face_age/gender/race/emotion` in each row. Default false because per-row values from the avatar-based classifier are noisy (~30% wrong on top KR verified accounts). The face filters (`gender`, `min_age`, `race`, `emotion` args) still apply server-side; this only toggles whether the inputs the filter saw are shown in the row projection. | |
| max_followers | No | Maximum follower count | |
| meta_category | No | Macro-category — resolves to `category_name IN (curated list)` server-side. One value covers a whole industry instead of OR-ing many raw IG labels (e.g. `music` covers Musician/band, DJ, Singer, Rapper, Music Producer, Record label). See `list_business_categories.meta_categories` for the full mapping. Stacks with `category` (AND) when both are passed. | |
| min_followers | No | Minimum follower count |
