Submit an asynchronous task, then read its standard results. ```json theme={null} { "username": "instagram", "results_limit": 50 } ``` Provide a public Instagram username. Returns the accounts Instagram suggests as similar to it; results\_limit sets how many to return (default 50, up to 100). ## Standard Result Fields Task results use the stable SocQ fields below. Source-specific field names and formats are normalized without inferring or enriching values that the source did not provide. To request a smaller field set, use `fields` for MCP queries, `_result_fields` for typed tools, or `--result-fields` in the CLI. Declared fields remain present when their value is `null`. | Field | Type | Nullable | Description | | - | - | - | - | | `id` | `string` | Yes | Unique identifier for this result item. | | `platform` | `string` | No | Platform the result belongs to, such as `instagram` or `linkedin`. | | `resource` | `string` | No | SocQ resource represented by the result, such as `videos` or `comments`. | | `type` | `string` | No | Category of the result item, such as `video`, `post`, or `comment`. | | `url` | `string` | Yes | Public URL of the result item when available. | | `published_at` | `string` | Yes | Time the source item was published, in ISO 8601 format when available. | | `collected_at` | `string` | No | Time SocQ collected or processed this result, in ISO 8601 format. | | `username` | `string` | Yes | Public username or handle of the account. | | `name` | `string` | Yes | Display name of the account or profile. | | `text` | `string` | Yes | Biography or description of the account or profile. | | `avatar_url` | `string` | Yes | URL of the account avatar image. | | `cover_url` | `string` | Yes | URL of the cover image. | | `website` | `string` | Yes | Website associated with the account, company, or advertiser. | | `is_verified` | `boolean` | Yes | Whether the account is verified on the platform. | | `is_private` | `boolean` | Yes | Whether the account is private. | | `location` | `object` | Yes | Geographic location associated with the result. | | `location.name` | `string` | Yes | Human-readable location name. | | `location.city` | `string` | Yes | City name. | | `location.region` | `string` | Yes | Region, state, or province name. | | `location.country` | `string` | Yes | Country or territory name or code. | | `location.latitude` | `number` | Yes | Latitude in decimal degrees. | | `location.longitude` | `number` | Yes | Longitude in decimal degrees. | | `metrics` | `object` | Yes | Counters and measurements available for the result item. | | `metrics.followers_count` | `integer` | Yes | Number of followers. | | `metrics.following_count` | `integer` | Yes | Number of accounts followed. | | `metrics.posts_count` | `integer` | Yes | Number of posts or posts associated with the trend. | The following example shows the response format for a completed task.
