Instagram Scraper
Search Instagram Instagram Profiles
Use this for Instagram-native profile lookup. It returns every account in Instagram's first ranked native result set, then performs bounded best-effort enrichment for the first 10 accounts to preserve the previous profile fields such as biography, bio links, account flags, and follower/following/media counts. Results after the first 10 retain native ID, username, full name, verification status, profile photo, and URL, while unavailable detail fields are null or empty. It does not search Google-indexed bios or captions, Google title/description fields are null, and pagination is not supported. For users, hashtags, places, and keyword suggestions together, use /v1/instagram/search.

|---|---|---|---|
