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
A list of Instagram user profiles matching the search query, typically including usernames, display names, profile picture URLs, follower/following counts, bio snippets, and verification status for each result.
Example use cases
Influencer discovery for a campaign
“Find Instagram accounts that match the search term 'vegan recipes' — I want to see the top profiles that come up so I can shortlist influencers for a campaign.”
Brand competitive research
“Search Instagram for users with 'oat milk' in their name or bio so I can identify competitor brands and accounts in that space.”
Locating a person's Instagram handle
“I'm trying to find the Instagram profile for someone named 'Marcus Rivera' who does street photography — can you search Instagram for that name and show me the matching accounts?”
