Instagram Post Likers API
Scrape Instagram Post Likers data with one API call. Returns a sample of the accounts that liked an Instagram post. Each liker includes username, display name, avatar URL, verification status, and profile URL, alongside the post's total like count in `total`. Instagram exposes a ranked slice rather than the whole list, usually around a thousand accounts on a popular post: the endpoint does not paginate, and `total` reflects the full like count rather than the number of retrievable likers, so expect `items.length` to be far smaller than `total` on a post with many likes.

Returns a sample of the accounts that liked a post, each with username, display name, avatar, and verification status, plus the full like count.
Use it to see who liked a post, accepting that Instagram exposes only about the first 100 likers however many likes the post has.
