# Instagram research Look up public Instagram profiles, posts, and Reels — all as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API, no app scraping or unofficial client libraries. ## When to use this skill - "What's <username>'s Instagram profile / follower count?" - "Pull the details for this Instagram post." - "Get <username>'s recent Reels." - Competitor social audits, influencer vetting, or brand-mention monitoring scoped to Instagram. ## Setup (one-time) - Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills). - Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` in the environment before running the helper. - The helper reads `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` from the environment and sends requests to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`. ## How it works 1. **Profile** — `/instagram/profile/{username}` returns public profile details for a given Instagram username. 2. **Reels** — `/instagram/reels/{id}` returns a feed of Reels for an Instagram user ID, paginated via the optional `max_id` cursor. 3. **Post detail** — `/instagram/post/{id}/{post_id}` returns the media details of a specific post, keyed by Instagram user ID and post ID.
