Get user profile - KonbiniAPI Docs

What it does

Returns profile information for an Instagram user including bio, follower counts, profile picture, and account metadata. Look up any public Instagram account by username, or pass ?userId= to look up by numeric user ID instead.

Tool details

Field	Value
Tool name	`instagram_get_user`
Platform	Instagram
REST endpoint	`GET /v1/instagram/users/{username}`
Result type	Detail tool

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`username`	`string`	Yes	Instagram username (with or without @ symbol)
`userId`	`string`	No	Look up the account by its numeric Instagram user ID instead of its username. If you already have the ID (e.g. from a post or comment’s attributedTo field in another response), passing it here returns the profile faster than a username lookup. When set, it overrides the username in the URL — any placeholder there works.
`projection_preset`	`string`	No	Defaults to `minimal`. Allowed values: `full`, `minimal`, `identity`, `engagement`, `content`.
`data_fields`	`string[]`	No	Adds top-level keys from `data` on top of the selected `projection_preset`.
