How this service works
Instagram (ig) data and scraping API: Profiles, posts, reels, stories, followers, hashtags, locations, and comment threads. 16 REST endpoints from $0.004 per call — no account, no OAuth, no subscription. Pay with x402 (USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana) or prepaid credits.
Output
Returns a list of Instagram user profiles matching the search query, typically including usernames, display names, profile pictures, follower counts, and account verification status — all retrieved without requiring OAuth or an Instagram account.
Example use cases
Influencer discovery for brand campaign
“Find me Instagram accounts related to 'sustainable fashion' — I'm looking for potential influencer partners and want a list of usernames and profile details.”
Brand handle verification
“Search Instagram for 'Morning Bloom Coffee' and tell me which accounts come up — I want to know if someone is already using a name close to ours before we launch.”
Competitor social media audit
“Look up Instagram users matching 'meal prep delivery' so I can see which competing brands or creators are active on Instagram in that space.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/searchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to search Instagram user profiles programmatically without managing OAuth tokens, Instagram developer accounts, or subscriptions. It is ideal for one-off lookups, agent workflows, influencer discovery, brand monitoring, or competitive research where pay-per-call pricing is more cost-effective than a subscription. Prefer this over the official Instagram Graph API when you don't have an approved app or need results beyond your own account's data.
Side effects
- No results found for obscure or misspelled search terms
- Rate limiting or temporary blocks from Instagram's backend returning empty or error responses
- Payment failure if USDC balance or x402 credentials are insufficient
- Search query too vague returning thousands of loosely related accounts
- Instagram anti-scraping measures causing intermittent failures or stale data
