The "GET Checker" endpoint returns a JSON object indicating whether a specific username is available on Instagram. The "GET Username available" endpoint provides a broader response, including availability status across multiple social media platforms, along with URLs for each platform.
Key fields include "success" (indicating the request's success), "username" (the checked username), "available" (availability status), and "social_media" (an array detailing availability across various platforms with their respective URLs).
The response data is structured in JSON format. For the "GET Checker" endpoint, it includes fields like "success," "username," and "available." The "GET Username available" endpoint organizes data into a main object with "status," "success," "handle," and a nested "social_media" array.
The primary parameter for both endpoints is the desired username, which must be passed in the request. Users can customize their requests by specifying different usernames to check their availability.
Users can check the "available" field to determine if a username is free for registration. For the "GET Username available" endpoint, they can use the "social_media" array to assess username availability across multiple platforms, aiding in brand consistency.
Common use cases include verifying usernames for personal branding, social media management, influencer collaborations, and ensuring brand consistency across platforms. This helps users secure memorable usernames for their online presence.
Data accuracy is maintained through real-time checks against Instagram's username database. The API ensures that the availability status reflects the most current information, allowing users to make informed decisions.
Users can expect a consistent response structure with "success" indicating the request's outcome. Availability results will typically show "true" or "false" for the username checked, and the "social_media" array will list availability across various platforms, providing a comprehensive overview.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
