Profile of an Instagram account

crawl4ai.instagram.user.profile

One Instagram account as one row: username, full name, biography, followers, following, posts, verified and private, category, external link, picture, user id. `username` is the account (@name or an instagram.com URL). Without `session` a public profile is read in about 2 s; biography, following, category and link are null. `full_profile` true adds biography, following and link from the profile page (3-6 s). A hidden profile comes from a slower source (30-80 s, billed per record). With `session` (your `sessionid` and `csrftoken` cookies, used once, never stored) every column is read as you. Columns: username, full_name, biography, followers, following, posts, is_verified, is_private, category, external_url, profile_pic_url, user_id.
