python - Get instagram followers

I want to parse a website's followers count with BeautifulSoup. This is what I have so far:

username_extract = 'lazada_my'

url = 'https://www.instagram.com/'+ username_extract
r = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content,'lxml')
f = soup.find('head', attrs={'class':'count'})

This is the part I want to parse:

enter image description here

Something within my soup.find() function is wrong, but I can't wrap my head around it. When returning f, it is empty. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I think you can use re module to search the correct count.

import requests
import re

username_extract = 'lazada_my'

url = 'https://www.instagram.com/'+ username_extract
r = requests.get(url)
m = re.search(r'"followed_by":{"count":([0-9]+)}', str(r.content))
print(m.group(1))
