"username":"nonexistent_user"

Tips

• Use usernameToUserId to get the richest profile data including follower counts
• The userId is required for fetching posts and reels - get it first using usernameToUserId
• Private accounts will return limited data
• Increase maxRetries if you're experiencing timeouts
