## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for one call. Use `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play for durable calls, scheduled calls, or CSV processing.

```ts theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'scrapecreators_instagram_basic_profile',
  {
    "userId": "user_123",
    "cache_max_age": "1d"
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
deepline tools execute scrapecreators_instagram_basic_profile --input '{
  "userId": "user_123",
  "cache_max_age": "1d"
}' --json
```

## Example response

The static output schema lacks the details for a reliable example. Use `deepline describe scrapecreators_instagram_basic_profile --json` for the complete live contract.

## Input reference

Fetches a lightweight Instagram profile summary by user ID, returning username, full name, biography, profile picture URL, verification status, follower count, following count, media count, and account privacy and type. Ideal for quick lookups or enrichment when you already have the numeric user ID. Use this when speed matters and you do not need posts. It skips the post-fetching and enrichment calls made by [Profile](https://docs.scrapecreators.com/v1/instagram/profile), so it is usually faster. Response times can vary.

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Details |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `payload.userId` | `string` | No | — | Instagram user id |
| `payload.cache_max_age` | `"1d" \| "3d" \| "7d" \| "14d" \| "30d"` | No | — | If we have a response in the cache that is this many days old or newer, return the cached response. Otherwise, scrape a live result. [See the Caching page for details.](https://docs.scrapecreators.com/caching) Allowed: `1d`, `3d`, `7d`, `14d`, `30d`. |
