How to run it
Step 1Set up
Once: paste this into your agent's chat. The Skill installs the CLI and logs in by itself. For an agent that cannot use a shell, connect it over MCP instead.
set up https://glasser.ai/SKILL.md
Show me how to use the Apify endpoint /apify/instagram-api-scraper on Glasser.glasser run -p apify -e '/apify/instagram-api-scraper' -i '{"directUrls":["https://www.instagram.com/humansofny/"]}' --endpoint-version 1Uses endpoint version 1. Inspect the current price before running. Install and log in first on Get Started.
Once per Run:
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY=$(uuidgen)Run it, and copy this same block to send it again:
curl -X POST https://api.glasser.ai/v1/runs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer gl_..." \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"provider":"apify","endpoint":"/apify/instagram-api-scraper","input":{"directUrls":["https://www.instagram.com/humansofny/"]},"endpoint_version":1}'Reuse the same Idempotency-Key to send it again: the second send is a read of the first Run. A new key is a new Run and a new Charge. Uses endpoint version 1; inspect the current price before running.
Step 2Try a specific example task
When you need to assess a prospect for outreach, you might compare their profile with your criteria and note which details still need verification.
Copy this prompt into your agent to review a profile against your outreach criteria.
Use apify:/apify/instagram-api-scraper on Glasser.
Check this profile against my outreach criteria and flag facts I still need to verify.Endpoint structure

}This Endpoint publishes no output schema. You get the Provider's own response body, unchanged — we do not warrant a shape we cannot guarantee.
