# Instagram Bio & Profile Lookup – Free

**Use case:** 

Run this task to pull a public Instagram account's full profile, bio text, external links, follower/following counts, verification status, plus its 12 most recent posts, without logging in. One handle, one click, well within the free plan's 20 profiles/day. Good first run to see the exact JSON shape before scraping in bulk.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.
