Best suited for agents that occasionally need to fetch Instagram content on demand without a subscription-based Instagram API integration.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram account — returns error if content is not publicly accessible
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL — returns error indicating bad input
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking — service may fail if Instagram blocks the scraper
- Post has been deleted or expired — returns not found error
- Unsupported content type (e.g. live streams) — may return empty or error response
