FAQ

About the Instagram Similar profiles API

The AnyAPI Instagram Similar profiles API returns Instagram similar profiles data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/instagram.similar_profiles. List the accounts Instagram recommends as similar to a public profile, with each account's handle, display name, verified flag and avatar. AnyAPI routes each request across 3 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $1.75 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 99.4% of Instagram similar profiles calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 4.2 seconds across 3,892 measured calls.

It costs from $1.75 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.

List the accounts Instagram recommends as similar to a public profile, with each account's handle, display name, verified flag and avatar. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 99.4% of Instagram similar profiles calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 4.2 seconds across 3,892 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.

Yes. A new AnyAPI account starts with $0.10 of free balance and no card required, which covers 57 Instagram Similar profiles calls at $0.00175 each.
