hasdata Instagram API

Public Instagram profile data.

When to use

• User asks about a single public Instagram handle
• They want bio, follower count, following count, post count, profile pic
• They're researching creators, brands, or competitors

For non-Instagram social platforms, no dedicated API exists — fall back to hasdata-scrape on the public profile URL.

API in this group

Command	Purpose	Cost
instagram-profile	Public profile data for a single handle	5

Quick start

# Profile by handle (no @ symbol)
hasdata instagram-profile --handle "hasdatadotcom" --pretty -o .hasdata/ig-hasdata.json

# Multiple profiles in parallel
for h in nasa natgeo nike; do
  hasdata instagram-profile --handle "$h" --pretty -o ".hasdata/ig-$h.json" &
done
wait

Tips

• Handle is required and must not include the @ symbol.
• Only public profiles are supported. Private accounts return limited data.
• For bulk audits (e.g., compare 50 creators), fan out with & + wait — each call is 5 credits.

Working with results

# Key stats
jq '{username, fullName, biography, followers: .followersCount, following: .followingCount, posts: .postsCount}' .hasdata/ig.json
