## Other responses

- `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`: Neither username nor user_id was provided, or a value has an invalid format.
- `503`: The upstream service is temporarily unavailable. Please retry shortly.
