```sh

Example prompt: Can you pull the Instagram profile data and follower stats for the account @natgeo using the cheap Instagram data endpoint?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need affordable, pay-per-request Instagram data without committing to a monthly subscription. Ideal for agents that need occasional Instagram lookups rather than high-volume continuous scraping. Best when cost-per-call matters and USDC micropayments on Base chain are acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns empty or error result
- Private accounts may return limited or no data
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or error response
- Malformed input object causes API error
- Instagram platform changes may cause data to be unavailable
