How this service works
Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
Output
A JSON object containing a count of returned profiles and an array of profile items, each with fields: id, url, fullName, inputUrl, username, biography, followsCount, and followersCount. Failed or empty runs are not billed.
Example use cases
Influencer vetting for brand campaigns
“I need to check if these 10 Instagram accounts are worth partnering with — can you fetch their follower counts, bios, and profile URLs? Here are the usernames: @fashionnova, @gymshark, @danielwellington, @mvmt, @hautelook, @revolve, @shein_us, @prettylittlething, @boohoo, @asos.”
Competitor social presence audit
“Can you look up the Instagram profiles for our top 5 competitors — @glossier, @fentybeauty, @raredbeauty, @elf.cosmetics, and @urbandecaycosmetics — and give me their follower counts and bios so I can compare their social footprint?”
Journalist or creator background research
“I'm writing a piece about sustainability influencers — can you grab the public Instagram profile details for @sustainably_vegan, @zerowastehome, @trashisfortossers, and @sustainablylazykook, including their follower numbers and what their bios say?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.scrapeforagents.tech/v1/instagram-profiles?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured public Instagram profile metadata (bio, follower/following counts, name) for one or more known usernames or profile URLs, especially in bulk. It is pay-per-call with no charge on failed/empty runs, making it cost-efficient for batch enrichment or influencer research workflows. Prefer this over manual lookups or general-purpose web scrapers when you need a clean, typed JSON response for Instagram-specific fields.
Side effects
- Private or non-existent Instagram accounts return no data for that username
- Numeric profile IDs are not supported and will not return results
- Rate limits or Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause partial results
- Malformed usernames or URLs may result in empty items array
- Network timeouts could cause the call to fail with no charge
