## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live Instagram profile data for a specific creator by username, especially for influencer vetting, audience research, or monitoring profile changes. Prefer this over cached or database-backed creator lookup endpoints when freshness of data is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found or account does not exist — returns 404 or empty result
- Instagram account is private — profile data may be limited or unavailable
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking of scraper — returns error or incomplete data
- Network timeout or scraping failure — returns 5xx error
- Invalid or malformed username — returns validation error
