The deterministic guide to reading public Instagram data through UnifAPI — profiles, posts, reels, comments, locations, and search.

The Instagram Data Skill is the source-sliced data guide a Platform Agent owns: it names the concrete instagram/... operations, response shapes, and gotchas for reading public Instagram data through UnifAPI MCP, so any creator research (shortlisting, audience-fit, pricing context) runs from one deterministic workflow. Read-only — it never posts or DMs.

A source-sliced data skill you run inside Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, or any MCP client — the deterministic, read-only path to one platform's public data. It names the operations and response shapes; the marketing skills in the same agent turn those records into briefs, prices, and signals. Eyes not hands — it never posts.

• Any Instagram-first research that needs profiles, posts, reels, or comments
• Skills that shortlist, vet, or price creators on Instagram
• Operators who want one deterministic Instagram read path, not ad-hoc discovery

• The concrete instagram/... operations for each common creator read job
• Response-contract and shape notes for users, posts, reels, comments
• Deterministic recipes: profile, engagement, comments, discovery
• Platform gotchas (username vs. shortcode keys, private accounts, pagination)

Live public data through the shared unifapi data skill — UnifAPI APIs: instagram. Connect once over OAuth; no scraping to maintain and no keys to rotate. Every figure in the output is cited to the record it came from.

Using the Instagram Data Skill, research these IG creators: pull profiles and follower size, recent posts and reels with engagement, and the comments on their top posts; flag paid-partnership posts. Return a cited audience-fit brief. Read-only.

Run it in any MCP client. Paste one prompt (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, …) to add the UnifAPI public-data MCP server at https://mcp.unifapi.com over OAuth — read-only, no API key — then add the marketing skills with npx skills add unifapi-agent/agents.

Prefer a web connector (Claude · ChatGPT · Perplexity · Grok), or the one-shot plugin for Claude-compatible hosts:

/plugin marketplace add unifapi-agent/agents
/plugin install unifapi@unifapi
