Instagram user profile API

The Instagram User Profile API allows you to obtain the full profile of an Instagram user whose account is open to the public, providing their username, including biography, posts and followers.

About the API:  

Instagram user profile API is designed to provide detailed access to a user's Instagram profile using their username. This tool is especially useful for users and anyone who needs to access detailed information about an Instagram profile without the need to authenticate an account or use manual tools. The API simplifies the process of collecting profile data, making it easy to integrate this information into applications, platforms and analytics systems.

The operation of the API is quite simple and is based on a two-step process. First, the user must send a request to the API providing the username of the Instagram profile he/she wants to get information about. This request is made via an endpoint call. Then, the API processes the request and performs a query to Instagram's servers to retrieve the profile information associated with the provided username.

Although the API facilitates access to public information on Instagram, it is important to use it ethically and respect the platform's privacy policies. Be sure to comply with all relevant data protection laws and regulations when using the API and handling the information obtained.

In summary, the Instagram user profile API provides an efficient and straightforward solution for obtaining comprehensive information about Instagram profiles through the use of the username. Its ability to provide detailed and up-to-date data makes it a valuable tool for a variety of applications in marketing, analytics and social media management.

When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
