Fetch a Instagram profile from its URL. The response is normalized, so it keeps the same shape whichever offer served it.
The call is synchronous and comes back
Prices are live in the catalogue:
completed or failed. Body fields and error codes shared by every service are documented on Run a service.
Body
string[]
required
The URLs to fetch, as
urls (array) or url (single string). Each one must match an accepted format below, and a mismatch returns 400 invalid_input_format before any routing or billing.string
Single-input form of
urls.number
default:"100"
Maximum number of records to return. Integer, 1-250.
string
Pin one offer, as
source/name. Serving this service: brightdata/instagram, apify/apify. Omit it (the default) to let the router walk the failover chain.object
This service declares no options. Any key sent here returns a corrective
400.Accepted URL formats
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
https://www.instagram.com/<username> | https://www.instagram.com/instagram |
Offers
In failover order. The head serves unless you pin another withprovider, and served_by in the response names the one that answered.
| Offer | Inputs per call |
|---|---|
brightdata/instagram | 1000 |
apify/apify | 100 |
GET /v1/services/instagram/profile.info. See Credits for how a call is billed.
Response
data[] holds the normalized records, served_by names the offer that answered, and credits_used carries the actual charge.
The example response is a real run with values shortened for readability. A field is present when Instagram exposes it for that item, so the exact set varies record to record.
