# Instagram username generator: run it free, or from your agent

Instagram handle ideas from your name and niche, with dot, underscore and number variants and a length check.

## Prompt

Use looot to find a free Instagram username for [name] in [niche]. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Write 20 handle ideas with dots, underscores and numbers, 30 characters or fewer. 3. Find an Instagram profile endpoint in the catalog and check its price. 4. Look up each idea. A name with no profile looks free. Return the free ones and the total cost.

## What it needs

A name, niche words, a style and a count

## What comes back

- username idea
- length out of 30
- link to check if it is taken

## Endpoints and providers

- scrapecreators: scrapecreators-instagram-profile

## What it costs

Nothing. The tool on the web page runs in the visitor's browser: no account, no API call and no limit per hour. The prompt above runs the same job from your own looot account with current data, billed per call.

## Name a new account

Get a list of handles to pick from before you sign up.

## Find a free variant

When your name is taken, try the dot, underscore and suffix versions.

## Match your brand

Keep the same handle across platforms by checking a short list early.

## Check with an agent

Let your agent look up every idea and return only the free ones.

## How do I come up with an Instagram username?

Start from your name or brand, add a word for what you post about, and try a few joins: a dot, an underscore, a prefix such as the or its, or a suffix such as studio or hq. The generator writes those combinations for you.

## What are the rules for an Instagram username?

Up to 30 characters, made of letters, digits, dots and underscores. The generator also skips names that start or end with a dot or have two dots in a row.

## Are these usernames available?

The generator does not know. Click Check next to a name to open the Instagram username checker with it filled in, then run the lookup.

## What do the styles do?

Clean joins your name and niche words. Creative adds a prefix or a suffix. With numbers adds a short number. Mixed takes from all three in turn.

## Why does More ideas change the list?

It shuffles the combinations and shows a new set from the same name and niche words. The same inputs give the same lists in the same order.

## Can I use capital letters?

Instagram shows usernames in lowercase, so the generator writes them in lowercase. Accents are dropped.

## Is it free?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no account and no limit. Only the Check link runs a lookup, on the username checker page.

## How do I check a whole list from an agent?

Copy the prompt above into your agent with the looot skill.md link. It writes ideas, looks each one up through a profile endpoint and returns the ones that look free.
