## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need comprehensive, live Instagram profile data (the 'heavy' variant) rather than a lightweight summary. Ideal for influencer vetting, brand partnership research, competitive analysis, or any use case requiring the most complete and up-to-date profile snapshot. Prefer this over lighter scrape variants when completeness matters more than speed or cost.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram profile not found or account is private — returns empty or error response
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures triggered — may return incomplete data or error
- Invalid or missing username/profile identifier — returns validation error
- Instagram changes page structure breaking scraper — returns incomplete or malformed data
- Network timeout for heavy scrape on large accounts — request may time out
