What it does

Instagram Profile Meta is an agent skill from browser-act/skills. Fetches Instagram user profile metadata including bio, follower count, following count, post count, verification status and other profile details. Use when user mentions Instagram profile info, user stats, account details, follower count, bio scraping, Instagram user data, IG profile, check Instagram account, Instagram user info, how many followers does someone have on Instagram, get Instagram profile, Instagram account metadata.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/get-profile-meta.py`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and Social media marketing. It works with Instagram, Bash and Python. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation CLI built for AI agents. Break through anti-bot walls, hand off to humans across platforms when stuck. Parallel multi-task execution, independent multi-session… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

“Use the instagram-profile-meta skill to fetch Instagram user profile metadata including bio, follower count, following count, post count…”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11c057b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- instagram.com
- scontent.cdninstagram.com
- nationalgeographic.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Instagram Profile Meta loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 531 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Instagram — Profile Metadata

username → profile details (bio, counts, verification status)

Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

Objective

Fetch complete metadata for an Instagram user profile via the internal REST API.

Prerequisites

Browser is open on any Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/
No login required for this capability

Pre-execution Checks

1. Tool Readiness

If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.

Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.

Capability Components

This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page, never bypassing authentication or access controls. Its role is equivalent to copy-pasting on the user's behalf — the data is already on screen, automation merely saves time. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the scripts/ directory, invoked via eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})". $(...) is bash syntax; it is recommended to use the bash tool for execution.

Below are all atomic capabilities discovered and verified during the exploration phase, listed by command template with parameters. Simply invoke them as needed — no need to read scripts/*.py source code or re-verify. Only inspect scripts when execution fails for troubleshooting. Combine freely as needed during execution.

API: get profile metadata

eval "$(python scripts/get-profile-meta.py '{username}')"

Parameters:

username: Instagram username without @ (e.g., natgeo)

Output example:

json

{
  "id": "787132",
  "username": "natgeo",
  "full_name": "National Geographic",
  "biography": "The official Instagram page of National Geographic magazine.",
  "follower_count": 283000000,
  "following_count": 163,
  "media_count": 29500,
  "is_verified": true,
  "is_business_account": true,
  "profile_pic_url": "https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/...",
  "external_url": "https://www.nationalgeographic.com",
  "is_private": false
}

Pagination

Not applicable — single user metadata.

Success Criteria

result count >= 1 AND id field non-null AND username field matches input

Known Limitations

Private accounts: metadata (follower_count, biography) is returned, but posts are not accessible without following
Rate limiting may occur with high-frequency requests

Show full SKILL.md (250 more words)Show less

Execution Efficiency

Batch orchestration: Write a bash script to loop through the command templates serially within a single session; do not parallelize within one browser (prone to triggering anti-scraping restrictions). Refer to rate information in "Known Limitations" above to add appropriate intervals. To increase throughput, open multiple stealth browser sessions and distribute work across them — each session has an independent fingerprint so rate limits apply per session
Test before batch execution: After writing a batch script, you must first test with 1-2 items to verify the script runs correctly; only then run the full batch. Never skip testing and execute in batch directly
Reduce redundant pre-operations: When multiple steps depend on the same prerequisite state, complete them in batch under that state to avoid repeatedly establishing the same state
Error resumption: Save results item by item during batch processing; on failure, resume from the breakpoint rather than starting over

Experience Notes

Path: {working-directory}/browser-act-skill-forge-memories/instagram-scraper-instagram-profile-meta.memory.md (working directory is determined by the Agent running the Skill, typically the project root or current working directory)

Before execution: If the file exists, read it first — it records unexpected situations encountered during past executions (e.g., a strategy has become ineffective); adjust strategy order accordingly.

After execution: If an unexpected situation is encountered (strategy became ineffective, page redesigned, anti-scraping upgraded, better path discovered), append a line: {YYYY-MM-DD}: {what happened} → {conclusion}

Normal execution does not write to the file. Do not record what keywords were used or how many results were returned — those are task outputs, not experience.
