Get Instagram profile

Get an Instagram profile by username. With a session: exact data from Instagram's profile API (source=api). Logged out (expired session, login wall, datacenter IP): falls back to the page's public og metadata instead of failing (source=og_meta / og_meta_loginwall) — counts are approximate (K/M/B rounded) and unknown fields (biography, is_verified, is_private, is_business, category, external_url) are null. Returns source, username, user_id, full_name, biography, followers, following, posts, is_verified, is_private, is_business, category, external_url, and profile_pic_url.
