Step-by-step

  1. Check for input issues first
    If the error mentions formatting or username, fix typos and try again before anything else.
  2. Look for privacy-related messages
    If the error points to profile settings or availability, treat the account as unavailable in this tool.
  3. Respect rate-limit responses
    When you see a rate-limit warning, pause for a few minutes instead of retrying immediately.

Quick tips

  • Use the exact handle without the “@” symbol.
  • Some profiles or posts may be unavailable based on settings.
  • If results look outdated, open the profile on Instagram for the latest.

Limitations

  • Some upstream failures may look similar from the outside.
  • The viewer cannot override platform-side errors.
  • Availability depends on profile settings.

FAQ
