How this service works
**Instagram Profile & Posts** on x402 Atlas — pay-per-call over the [x402 protocol](https://x402.org). Paid routes are billed per call in USDC on Base, Polygon, or Arbitrum, starting at $0.005; each operation states its exact price below. Request a route with no payment to receive the `402` challenge, then repeat it with an `X-PAYMENT` header — an x402 client (`x402-fetch` / `x402-axios`) performs that exchange for you. Full onboarding, quickstart, and the other APIs: https://use.x402atlas.com/docs
Output
Returns a JSON object with two top-level keys: 'profile' (id, username, full_name, biography, bio_links, followers, following, posts_count, is_verified, is_private, has_reels, external_url) and 'posts' (array of recent posts each with id, shortcode, url, caption, likes, comments, is_video, dimensions, display_url, thumbnail_url, carousel, tagged_users, location, product_type, video_duration, accessibility_caption, and flags like comments_disabled and is_paid_partnership).
Example use cases
Brand competitor social audit
“Can you grab the Instagram profile and recent posts for @adidas? I need their follower count, whether they're verified, and the engagement stats on their last few posts.”
Influencer vetting for partnership
“Look up the Instagram profile for @cristiano — I need their full bio, follower and following counts, and details on their latest posts including likes and comments so I can evaluate them for a sponsorship deal.”
Content research for a niche account
“Fetch the Instagram profile and recent posts for @natgeo — show me their post captions, like counts, and whether each post is a video or photo so I can analyze their content strategy.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://instagram.use.x402atlas.com/profile/%7Busername%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured Instagram profile and post data for a specific public username without building your own Instagram scraper. It is ideal for influencer research, brand monitoring, competitor analysis, or content auditing workflows where you need follower counts, engagement metrics (likes, comments), and post metadata in a single call. Prefer this over general web-scraping tools when you want a clean, structured JSON response keyed to Instagram-specific fields. Not suitable for private accounts or when you need real-time streaming of new posts.
Side effects
- Username not found — 404 returned for non-existent or deleted accounts
- Private account — profile shell returned but posts may be empty or restricted
- Payment not included — 402 challenge response requiring X-PAYMENT header with USDC on Base/Polygon/Arbitrum
- Rate limiting — repeated calls in short succession may be throttled
- Instagram API changes — scraping-based endpoints can break when Instagram updates its internal structure
- Username with special characters — URL encoding issues with non-ASCII usernames
