Public profile for any Instagram business handle

Changed on

Resolve an Instagram handle to its public profile — follower count, post count, bio, display name, avatar and IG user ID — using the connected account's Graph access. The handle does not need any relationship with the brand, which makes this the sizing check before reaching out to a creator.

Meta only resolves Business and Creator accounts through this edge: a personal account, a private account, or a handle that does not exist all come back as 404 alike, and no distinction between those cases is available. Pass the handle with or without a leading @.

For repeated or typeahead lookups prefer /meta-ads/instagram/creator-lookup, which returns the same profile from a 5-minute cache and so does not spend Meta API quota per keystroke. Single shop only.
