The useful bits.
Nothing extra.

Start with a username. Know exactly which fields came back, what is unavailable, and when the result was fetched.

Ask by handle

No profile URL or manual research. One predictable endpoint.

Receive structured fields

Identity, biography, counts, media metadata and availability—when permitted by the source.

Keep the context

Use fetched_at and status instead of guessing whether a result is current.
