## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract public Instagram profile or post data without direct Instagram API access, especially for competitor research, influencer vetting, or social media analytics workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram profile is private — no data returned
- Invalid or non-existent username — 404 or empty response
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking — scraper may fail intermittently
- Payment not processed — 402 response requiring x402 payment
- Endpoint returns partial data if profile has restricted visibility
