Instagram User handle API

One GET request returns user handle from Instagram as JSON. $0.004 per call, no account and no OAuth — pay with x402 or spend a prepaid balance with one API key.

Pay per call (x402)

Call it with no payment and the server answers 402 with machine-readable requirements on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana. Sign, retry, done — libraries like @x402/fetch do the loop for you.

curl — the payment challenge
# call without payment to inspect the 402 challenge
curl -i 'https://fetcher.sh/api/instagram/user/handle/<handle>'
# HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
# payment-required: <base64 payment requirements>

Prepaid credits

Top up once and every call is a plain HTTP request against your balance — no signing, no chain round trip. Generate a key.

curl — with your API key
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer bby_live_...' \

Response

Every endpoint returns the same envelope, and the HTTP status mirrors the status field. The upstream payload arrives untouched in data.
