Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/instagram/user?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve the public profile of a specific, known Instagram user by their exact username or profile URL. Prefer this over Instagram user search when you already know the handle and want structured profile metadata rather than a list of candidates.
Side effects
- Username or URL not found — returns 404 or empty result
- Private account — profile data may be limited or unavailable
- Invalid username format (starts with # or /) — rejected by schema validation
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking on the backend — may return 429 or service error
- Malformed profile URL — returns validation error
