Instagram account age checker
Instagram's "About this account" panel shows when an account joined and where it's based, one profile at a time in the app. This connector returns the same facts for a whole list of usernames — creation date, age in years, country of registration and former usernames — so you can spot brand-new or relocated accounts before you trust, hire or pay them.
From $0.006 per account · no API key · failed calls refunded
What you get
- Account creation date and age in years
- Country of registration
- Former usernames and whether the handle changed
- Verified, private and business flags
- Follower, following and post counts
- Username availability checks for new handles
Just ask your AI
“When were these 30 Instagram accounts created, and which ones are less than a year old?”
“Check where @brand's account is registered and whether it has changed username.”

Where does the creation date come from?+
From Instagram's own public account information — the same data shown in the "About this account" panel.
Can it check whether a username is free?+
Yes. The Instagram Username Availability Checker tells you if a handle is taken, who owns it, and suggests available alternatives.
Do I need a Instagram API key or developer account?+
No. Sourcelane runs the connectors for you. You top up a balance with a card, create an agent key, and your agent calls the connector — there is no Instagram app review, OAuth setup or rate-limit juggling on your side.
Which AI tools can use it?+
Anything that speaks MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) can connect to the Sourcelane MCP server with one config block. ChatGPT can use it through a Custom GPT Action, and any agent framework can call the REST endpoint directly.
Can I stop an agent from overspending?+
Yes. Every agent key has its own per-call cap, daily and monthly limits, an optional lifetime budget, an allowlist of connectors, and a kill switch.
