description: "Use when the user wants to interact with Instagram — extract a user's profile data (bio, followers, following, post count, avatar) or scrape visible posts from a user's grid (URLs, thumbnails, captions). Works on instagram.com profile pages. Requires a logged-in session (sessionid cookie) and a real browser — Instagram is a JS-rendered SPA."

Instagram — Browsing Skill

Use this index to choose the Instagram action that matches the user request, then open the linked reference file for the complete navigation, requirements, code, and return shape.

Action Index

• **profile-data** — Extract an Instagram user's profile: username, full name, bio, followers, following, post count, avatar URL, verification status, and website link. Full spec: [references/profile-data.md](references/profile-data.md).
• **user-posts** — Extract visible posts from an Instagram user's profile grid: post URLs, thumbnail images, alt-text caption snippets, and like/comment counts when visible. Full spec: [references/user-posts.md](references/user-posts.md).

Benchmarks

Benchmarks compare the maintained skill action against a no-skill browser agent that inspects the live page DOM and derives selectors at runtime. Full notes live in [BENCHMARKS.md](../../BENCHMARKS.md).

| Action | With Skill | Without Skill | Notes | |---|---:|---:|---| | profile-data | TBD | TBD | Planned. | | user-posts | TBD | TBD | Planned. |
