Instagram Profile Embed HTML Scraper API

The Instagram Profile Embed HTML endpoint is one API call: send an account handle with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull ready-to-drop embed markup for any public Instagram profile, so you can render it on your own site without their SDK. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Instagram changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.

Instagram profile embed html questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the Instagram Profile Embed HTML endpoint with an account handle and your HProxy API key. Pull ready-to-drop embed markup for any public Instagram profile, so you can render it on your own site without their SDK. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

The API only accesses publicly available Instagram data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Instagram's terms for your use case.

A structured JSON object with the full profile embed HTML data Instagram exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

Docs and AI

Connect your scraper to an AI, any time.

The whole Scraper API is published as markdown, so an assistant reads every endpoint, every parameter and a real response without a key and writes your integration. And because a scrape is one GET that answers in JSON, an agent can run the scraper itself, on its own schedule, with your key.

The API as markdown

Paste /llms/scraper-api.txt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot: every endpoint and the whole catalog, in one file. No key and no account to read it.

An agent can call it

One GET with your key returns structured JSON, so an agent scrapes on its own schedule. No browser to drive, no parser to keep alive between runs.

More on the Instagram Profile Embed HTML API

What the Instagram Profile Embed HTML endpoint returns

Pull ready-to-drop embed markup for any public Instagram profile, so you can render it on your own site without their SDK. The JSON object carries html, width / height and authorName. Nothing is summarised away on our side, so what you read in the response is what the Instagram profile embed html page itself holds.

What you send to the Instagram Profile Embed HTML API

The call takes an account handle. Required: handle. Optional: trim. Your key travels in the X-API-Key header, the response is JSON, and the call is billed at 0.15¢, $1.49 per 1,000.

Profiles on other platforms

The same profiles data is available on 18 other platforms: TikTok Profile, Facebook Profile, YouTube Channel, LinkedIn Profile, Twitter / X Profile, Reddit Subreddit Details, Threads Profile, Twitch Profile, Bluesky Profile, Spotify Artist, Truth Social Profile, Komi Page, Linkbio Page, Linkme Profile, Linktree Page, Pillar Page, Snapchat Profile and SoundCloud Artist. They share this endpoint's JSON shape, its per-call billing and your one API key, so moving from Instagram to another network is a change of URL rather than a second integration.

Is scraping Instagram profile embed html allowed?

The endpoint reads publicly available Instagram data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. It does not touch private accounts or anything behind a password. How you then use the data is yours to keep lawful, under the rules that apply to you and to Instagram.

Ready when you are.

Your dashboard is ten seconds away. No sales call, no subscription, no minimum.
