# Instagram profile search

Use this for Instagram-native profile lookup. Needs query. Served by ScrapeCreators.

Use this for Instagram-native profile lookup. It returns every account in Instagram's first ranked native result set, then performs bounded best-effort enrichment for the first 10 accounts to preserve the previous profile fields such as biography, bio links, account flags, and follower/following/media counts. Results after the first 10 retain native ID, username, full name, verification status, profile photo, and URL, while unavailable detail fields are null or empty. It does not search Google-indexed bios or captions, Google title/description fields are null, and pagination is not supported.

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.

  "input": {
    "query": "fitness coach"
  }

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
