Filtering criteria
You can combine multiple criteria in one filtering request. For example, you can filter out only owned profiles on Facebook with expired connections:
Platform: Facebook
Ownership: Owned
Connection status: Expired
However, not all combinations of filtering criteria are supported. For example, product tags and shared insights are Instagram-specific connection types; no other platform supports them.
If you select LinkedIn
as platform and at the same time you select Shared insights
as connection type, no profile will be found because this combination of search criteria is not supported.
Platforms
Filtering by platform is supported only for profiles connected to accounts on social media platforms (such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and so on). Filtering profiles connected to accounts on review platforms (such as Google Business) by platform is not available, because all these profiles are connected to Google Business.

Instagram
LinkedIn

Filtering profiles by shared insights

You can request access to a public Instagram profile’s insights (for example, statistics on their posts, stories, or audience) to identify whether this profile is the right match for your brand to collaborate with. For more information, see Set up Shared Insights with Influencers.

The Shared insights connection has its own specific statuses that you can see when you open an individual profile:
