## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract public Instagram profile data, posts, or search results without managing your own scraping infrastructure. Ideal for agents performing influencer research, brand monitoring, social media analytics, or content discovery on Instagram. Best suited for single-call lookups by username, URL, or keyword query with pay-per-use USDC billing via x402 protocol on Base Mainnet.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram accounts may return no data or an access error
- Invalid or non-existent username/URL returns empty results or a 404-style error
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures
- Malformed query input may return unexpected or empty results
- Instagram UI/structure changes may cause scraper to return incomplete or stale data
