❓ Common questions

• Do I need a Social Fetch API key? No — your Apify token is enough. Never paste an sfk_ key into Actor input.
• Why was I charged for not_found? The lookup completed, but Instagram did not return that profile, video, or post. That still counts as a billable dataset row.
• What can I put in handles? @usernames or full profile URLs — e.g. nike or https://www.instagram.com/nike/.
