# Instagram profile

> Public profile data for one or more Instagram accounts: follower and following counts, bio, verification, external link, and post count.

Public profile data for one or more Instagram accounts: follower and following counts, bio, verification, external link, and post count.

<Note>Use when you need an Instagram account's stats or bio, to check whether a handle is real or verified, or to size a creator's audience before outreach.</Note>

## Price

**\$0.0069 per profile.** That is the rate you pay for each profile the call returns, so the total depends on how many it produces.

Billing follows actual usage, so a call that returns fewer profiles costs less. `discover` and `inspect` also return a ceiling for your specific request, which is a maximum you will never be charged above.

## Input

| Field                 | Type      | Required | Notes                                                                                                           |

| `usernames`           | `array`   | yes      | Instagram usernames or user IDs to scrape                                                                       |
| `includeAboutSection` | `boolean` |          | Also extract about-account info (join date, country). Billed extra at \$0.006 per account. Defaults to `false`. |

<Note>
  Goro forwards your input to the underlying tool unchanged, so any field the
  tool accepts works here even if it is not listed above.
