## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Instagram profile data (bio, follower counts, account metadata) for a specific username and are comfortable with per-call x402 micropayments. Prefer this over alternatives when you need lightweight profile-only data rather than posts or transcripts, and want a simple pay-per-outcome model without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found — empty data object with success false
- Invalid or missing handle parameter — 400 bad request
- Payment not completed — 402 payment required
- Rate limit exceeded — 429 too many requests
- Instagram scraping temporarily blocked — provider error in data field
