## ⭐️ Top Updates

### [**Instagram Profile API (New API)**](https://serpapi.com/instagram-profile-api)

We’ve introduced the new Instagram Profile API, enabling developers to extract detailed public profile data directly from Instagram through SerpApi. The API provides structured access to profile information, including usernames, biographies, follower and following counts, profile images, verified status, external links, and post statistics, along with rich metadata for individual posts such as captions, hashtags, engagement metrics, media types, and timestamps. It also supports extracting reels, image posts, video posts, and pinned content in a clean JSON format, making it easier to build analytics platforms, creator monitoring tools, social listening systems, and AI powered applications that analyze Instagram content and engagement trends at scale.
