How this service works
fetcher.sh is an x402 web-data and scraping API: 111 endpoints for Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Google, App Store, and Yelp — paid per call in USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana, or with prepaid credits. Built for AI agents: no accounts, no OAuth, no subscriptions.
Output
Returns structured public profile data for the specified Instagram handle, including follower count, following count, number of posts, bio text, profile picture URL, display name, and whether the account is verified.
Example use cases
Influencer vetting for brand deal
“Look up the Instagram profile for @cristiano — I need their follower count, post count, and verification status to decide if they're worth reaching out to for a sponsorship.”
Competitor social media audit
“Grab the Instagram profile details for @nike so I can compare their follower count and bio against our brand account.”
Monitoring a creator's account stats
“Fetch the current Instagram profile data for @mkbhd so I can log their follower count and post count for our weekly influencer tracking report.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fetcher.sh/api/instagram/user/handle/%7Bhandle%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need quick, no-auth access to public Instagram profile metadata for a known username, especially in agentic pipelines where setting up OAuth or maintaining Instagram API credentials is impractical. Ideal for influencer research, social audits, or data enrichment workflows where per-call USDC micropayment is acceptable and you need results without managing subscriptions or rate-limit quotas.
Side effects
- Handle not found — returns 404 if the username does not exist or has been deleted
- Private account — may return limited or no data for private Instagram profiles
- Rate limiting or scraping block — Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures
- Invalid handle format — malformed or empty handle returns a 400 error
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance results in 402 response before data is returned
