## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live Instagram profile data for a specific username without maintaining your own scraping infrastructure. Ideal for influencer research, social media monitoring, or enriching contact records with current Instagram stats. Prefer over cached/batch alternatives when freshness of data is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram rate limiting or blocking may cause scrape failure
- Profile is private or does not exist — returns empty or error response
- Instagram UI changes may break scraper and return malformed data
- Payment of $0.01 USDC not processed — 402 response returned
- Username path parameter missing or malformed — request fails
