## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, real-time Instagram profile data for a specific known username and do not want cached or stale metrics. Ideal for influencer vetting, audience size verification, or enriching creator profiles before outreach. Prefer this over batch or search endpoints when you already know the exact Instagram handle and need up-to-the-moment stats.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram account does not exist or has been deleted — returns empty or 404-equivalent response
- Instagram account is private — public profile data may be limited or unavailable
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures cause temporary failure
- Username typo or malformed path parameter results in no data returned
- Instagram changes its page structure causing scraper to return incomplete data
- Payment of 0.01 USDC not processed correctly via x402 protocol — request rejected
