About this data
Turn Instagram usernames or profile links into clean profile rows: full name, bio, followers, following, post count, verified badge, business category, website links, profile picture and the 12 latest posts. No Instagram account needed. Failed profiles are reported and not charged.
From the actor’s Apify Store listing. The per-call endpoint may return a bounded subset; its own description is below.
Buy per call over x402
One endpoint at api.ssh.autos. Each call is one JSON POST, paid in USDC with no account or API key, and answered in the same HTTP response.
POST /v1/instagram/profile
Returns the displayed name, profile picture, follower and post counts, verification and recent-post data where Instagram supplies them. missingFields explicitly lists unavailable fields; biography and contact fields are not guaranteed.
Fetch a public Instagram profile by username or profile URL.
Input
Send a JSON body to POST https://api.ssh.autos/v1/instagram/profile.

Returned fields
The answer is JSON: records, a list, and summary, the run status and counts. Each record has these 22 fields; a field the source does not publish comes back null.

- Confirmed no matches returns records: [] (charged: it is an answer).
Free
- Invalid input (422), busy (503), source failure (502), timeout (504) and calls whose client hung up are never charged.
- Invalid input and source failures are not charged.
Prefer a subscription? Run it on Apify
This data source is a public actor on the Apify Store: Instagram Profile Scraper. Run it with your Apify account and plan for larger, scheduled or exported runs; it may offer more input options than the per-call endpoint.
How x402 payment works
- Your client sends the request. The API answers
402 Payment Requiredwith the price and where to pay. - The client pays from its own wallet: USDC on Base or Solana over x402, or over MPP on Tempo. No account, sign-up or API key.
- The client retries with the payment attached and gets the JSON answer in the same call. You are only charged for answers.
The AgentCash CLI in the example does all three steps for you and pays from your AgentCash wallet. Any x402 or MPP client works the same way.
