instagram-api/profile

Instagram profile API — followers, following, posts, bio

`handle`	The Instagram handle, without the @.

Handle format and anchor

Handle: handle
Anchor: userInfo

Where this goes wrong.

Instagram's own API path asks for a login, so it is not used. There is no partnership here and we do not claim one. What is read is the public page, logged out.

Cost

1 credit per call. A call that finds nothing costs nothing.

Is this the official Instagram API?

No. Instagram's API endpoint requires a login, so it is not used. This reads the public logged-out page.

Do you have a partnership with Instagram?

No. Any provider claiming one for public profile data is worth a second look.
