## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized - API key is missing or invalid
- `403`: Instagram explicitly requires login. Scrappa does not retry the login-gated resource. Profile lookups may recover from public profile data; unresolved login requirements are nonbillable and not retryable.
- `422`: Provide either a valid Instagram post URL or shortcode.
- `503`: Every bounded Instagram post strategy was unavailable. The request is retryable and does not consume credits.
