Instagram profile API

Reads public Instagram profiles for a list of usernames (or profile URLs) and delivers display name, bio, verified and private flags, account category, link in bio, follower/following/post counts and the profile picture. Public pages only — no login, no cookies, no browser. Post-level data is not collected: it needs the platform's authenticated endpoints.

$0.004 per delivered profile, up to 50 profiles per run. Nothing delivered means nothing charged.
