Instagram Profile Country API
Scrape Instagram Profile Country data with one API call. Returns the country an Instagram account declares on its "About this account" panel (`author.ext.country`), the month it joined (`author.ext.account_created`), its username, its profile link and its verified flag, for 1 credit. Pass the numeric account id as `user_id`: every Instagram search row carries it as `post.ext.author_id`, and /v1/instagram/profile/about returns it as `author.id`. Country is the account's own declared country, not where a post was filmed and not the country you are calling from, and it is null when the account shows no transparency panel. This endpoint reads the panel only, so followers, bio, avatar, posts count and the public email and phone are not on it; for those, call /v1/instagram/profile/about with the username. A username is refused at no charge with a pointer to /v1/instagram/profile/about. Only one source serves this read, so there is no second source to fall back to when it is unavailable.

Returns the country an Instagram account declares on its "About this account" panel and the month it joined, looked up by the numeric account id.
Use it to check where the creators on a search page are based, 1 credit each, by passing post.ext.author_id; for a username, use profile/about.
