How this service works
Pay-per-call e-commerce, product, price and social media data tools for AI agents, from public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the Instagram account's numeric ID, username, full name, biography text, external URL, bio links, follower count, following count, post count, reel count, highlight count, profile picture URL, and boolean flags for verified, private, and business status, plus the account category if set. Returns 404 for unknown usernames, 503 if Instagram throttles the anonymous request (not charged), and 502 for certain business profiles that trigger an Instagram-side error.
Example use cases
Influencer vetting before brand deal
“I'm considering partnering with @glossier for a campaign — can you check their Instagram profile and tell me their follower count, whether they're verified, what category they're listed under, and what their bio says?”
Competitor social media benchmarking
“Pull the Instagram profile stats for @adidas and @puma so I can compare their follower counts, post counts, and whether both accounts are verified business profiles.”
Checking if a username is taken or private
“Is the Instagram account @morningbloomcoffee real and public? If it exists, what's the full name on the account and how many followers do they have?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.shopsocial-api.workers.dev/api/social/instagram-profile?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured Instagram profile metadata (follower counts, bio, verification status, business flags) for a specific known username without requiring Instagram API credentials or OAuth. Ideal for lightweight profile lookups, influencer research, and competitor monitoring where you have a username in hand. Prefer alternatives if you need to search for accounts by keyword (no search capability here), need posts/media content (a sibling endpoint covers that), or need guaranteed uptime rather than best-effort anonymous access.
Side effects
- 503 Service Unavailable – Instagram throttled the anonymous request; call is not charged and can be retried
- 502 Bad Gateway – Instagram returned an error for certain business profiles
- 404 Not Found – username does not exist on Instagram
- Rate limiting may cause intermittent failures during high-traffic periods
