# Participant status

`GET /api/profiles/{id}/participants/{user_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.postproxy.dev`
- URL: `https://api.postproxy.dev/api/profiles/{id}/participants/{user_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Instagram only. Returns whether a user follows the profile's Instagram account (and vice versa), plus their verified badge and follower count, fetched live from Instagram's messaging user lookup. The user_id is the Instagram-scoped user id from a DM chat (participant_external_id) or a comment (author_external_id); Instagram only resolves users who have messaged or commented on your account. Lookups are cached for one second per user; the X-Cached response header says whether the payload came from cache.
