Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/instagram/user/followers?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate or search through the follower list of a specific Instagram account by username or URL. It is ideal for influencer research, audience analysis, and competitor monitoring on Instagram. Prefer this over generic scraping tools when you need structured, paginated follower data with optional name/username search filtering.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent username returns an error or empty result
- Private Instagram accounts may block follower retrieval
- Verified (blue checkmark) accounts only return first page regardless of pages parameter
- Exceeding the pages maximum of 40 causes a validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 response
- Malformed profile URL returns a parsing error
