Description
ProfileQuery is a REST API for public Instagram data: profiles, posts, reels, stories, highlights, comments, followers, hashtags, locations and search, all as clean JSON. No OAuth, no app review, no scraping infrastructure. You pay per request with prepaid credits, and only for successful lookups. Built-in insights (engagement rate, fake-follower audit, best time to post) and an MCP server let Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents query Instagram directly. 50 free credits to start.

Could you build this?
No Bypassing Instagram's rigorous bot detection, residential proxy rotation, account farm management, and reverse-engineering private endpoints at scale requires dedicated scraping operations.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable scraping API for Meta platforms requires an infrastructure of rotating residential and mobile proxies, headless browser clusters with custom fingerprinting evasions, reverse-engineered private mobile API signatures, and automated CAPTCHA solving. It necessitates continuous maintenance by specialized reverse-engineers to survive Instagram's frequent anti-scraping defenses.
