Use this for Instagram-native profile lookup.

## 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_search_profiles',
  {
    "query": "software companies hiring engineers"
  },
);

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

### CLI

```bash theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
deepline tools execute scrapecreators_instagram_search_profiles --input '{
  "query": "software companies hiring engineers"
}' --json
```

## Example response

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

## Input reference

Use this for Instagram-native profile lookup. It returns every account in Instagram's first ranked native result set, then performs bounded best-effort enrichment for the first 10 accounts to preserve the previous profile fields such as biography, bio links, account flags, and follower/following/media counts. Results after the first 10 retain native ID, username, full name, verification status, profile photo, and URL, while unavailable detail fields are null or empty. It does not search Google-indexed bios or captions, Google title/description fields are null, and pagination is not supported. For users, hashtags, places, and keyword suggestions together, use /v1/instagram/search.

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Details |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `payload.query` | `string` | Yes | — | The profile name or username to search for. |
