## Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Help me use Instagram profile — biography, links and verification (tool ID: scrapecreators.instagram-user-profile). Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

## Questions

**Is Instagram profile — biography, links and verification by ScrapeCreators free?**

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0027 per request ($0.27 per 100 requests), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

**Do I need an API key from ScrapeCreators?**

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to ScrapeCreators, so you don't sign up with ScrapeCreators or manage an API key.

## Details

**About this tool**

Retrieves a public Instagram profile by username, including biography, bio links, verification status and profile picture. Retrieve one bounded result or page using the documented fields. Pagination is explicit: follow-up pages require another run. The catalog price is the maximum per request; the upfront quote reflects the selected limits. Completed requests cost that quote, including valid empty pages and no-match answers. Supplier waivers do not change the customer price. Failed requests are uncharged. Results contain reviewed business data and available pagination. The worked example shows selected fields from a recorded response, with at most the first item of each list.

**All inputs and outputs**

**Errors and limits**

- `invalid_input`: The lookup fields or limits are invalid.example: {"handle":"natgeo"}
- `upstream_error`: The provider could not complete a verified result; the wallet was not charged.Check the documented fields and contact Scrollport support with the run ID if needed.
