GET
This endpoint allows you to retrieve information about any public social media profile, even if that profile is not linked to your Ayrshare account. This feature is available for Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube. For profiles that are linked to your Ayrshare account, we recommend using the /analytics endpoint instead, as it provides more detailed analytics. Important: To search for a profile on a specific social platform, your Ayrshare account must have that social network linked. For example, to search for any Instagram profile, e.g. @taylorswift, you must have Instagram linked to your Ayrshare account.
The searched account must be public to access the data. Private social accounts are not available.Location data is only available for business with public locations. Tagging a location in Facebook or Instagram requires an available location.
