+ # Insta Checker SDK
2
+
3
+ A Node.js and TypeScript library to check if an Instagram username is available. It handles connection pooling, caching, and retries so you don't have to write that boilerplate yourself.
4
+
5
+ This is useful for Discord bots, web apps, or scripts that need to check a lot of names quickly.
6
+
7
+ ## Installation
8
+
9
+ Install the package via npm:
10
+
11
+ ```bash
12
+ npm install insta-checker-sdk
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ ## Quick Start
16
+
17
+ Here is the simplest way to check one username.
18
+
19
+ ```javascript
20
+ const InstaChecker = require('insta-checker-sdk');
21
+
22
+ const checker = new InstaChecker();
23
+
24
+ async function run() {
25
+ const result = await checker.checkUsername('ninja');
26
+
27
+ if (result.available) {
28
+ console.log('The username is free.');
29
+ } else {
30
+ console.log('The username is taken.');
31
+ }
32
+ }
33
+
34
+ run();
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ ## Features
38
+
39
+ * **Connection Pooling**: Reuses HTTP connections to check names faster.
40
+ * **Caching**: Saves results in memory for a set time to avoid checking the same name twice.
41
+ * **Retries**: Automatically tries again if a request times out or fails.
42
+ * **Batch Checking**: Checks multiple names in parallel with a configurable limit.
43
+ * **TypeScript Support**: Included types for full IDE autocomplete.
44
+
45
+ ## Basic Usage
46
+
47
+ ### Checking a single username
48
+
49
+ The `checkUsername` method returns an object with two properties: `available` (boolean) and `cached` (boolean).
50
+
51
+ ```javascript
52
+ const InstaChecker = require('insta-checker-sdk');
53
+ const checker = new InstaChecker({ timeout: 3000 });
54
+
55
+ const result = await checker.checkUsername('apple');
56
+
57
+ console.log(result);
58
+ // Output: { available: false, cached: false }
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ ### Checking multiple usernames
62
+
63
+ Use `checkBatch` to process a list of names. This runs checks in parallel based on your concurrency setting.
64
+
65
+ ```javascript
66
+ const usernames = ['john', 'jane', 'doe', 'admin'];
67
+
68
+ const results = await checker.checkBatch(usernames);
69
+
70
+ console.log(results);
71
+ // Output: { john: false, jane: true, doe: true, admin: false }
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ You can add a callback to track progress while the batch is running.
75
+
76
+ ```javascript
77
+ await checker.checkBatch(usernames, {
78
+ onProgress: (info) => {
79
+ console.log(`Checked ${info.current} of ${info.total}`);
80
+ }
81
+ });
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ ## Configuration
85
+
86
+ You can pass an options object to the constructor.
87
+
88
+ | Option | Type | Default | Description |
89
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
90
+ | `timeout` | number | 5000 | Time to wait for a response in milliseconds. |
91
+ | `concurrency` | number | 5 | How many requests to send at the same time. |
92
+ | `retries` | number | 2 | How many times to retry a failed request. |
93
+ | `cacheTTL` | number | 300000 | How long to cache results in milliseconds (default 5 mins). |
94
+ | `enableCache` | boolean | true | Turn caching on or off. |
95
+
96
+ Example:
97
+
98
+ ```javascript
99
+ const checker = new InstaChecker({
100
+ concurrency: 10, // Check 10 names at once
101
+ timeout: 2000, // Fail fast after 2 seconds
102
+ cacheTTL: 60000 // Keep cache for 1 minute
103
+ });
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ ## Clearing Cache
107
+
108
+ If you want to force a refresh of all names, clear the cache manually.
109
+
110
+ ```javascript
111
+ checker.clearCache();
112
+ ```
