# solari instagram account similar

> Find Instagram accounts whose relationship graph overlaps a given handle.

- **CLI**: `solari instagram account similar`
- **MCP tool**: `solari_instagram_account_similar`
- **Access**: `solari:read` — Works with any signed-in SOLARI account.

Finds Instagram accounts similar to the given username based on relationship-graph overlap. Takes an Instagram handle (no @), not a UUID. Works with any signed-in SOLARI account.

**When to use it** — "Who else is like this creator?" — graph adjacency, not collaboration history.

**What comes back** — The seed account, the similar accounts, and diagnostics describing the traversal.

## Parameters

- `username` (string, required) — Instagram handle to find similar accounts for, without the leading @.
- `limit` (integer, optional, ≥ 1) — Number of similar accounts to return, default 50. Values above 100 are clamped to 100.

## Response

### `Response`

- `user_id` (uuid) — Seed account id.
- `user` (object) — Seed account profile summary.
- `params` (object) — Traversal parameters actually applied (k, hops, max_rank_to_use).
- `results` (object[]) — Similar accounts, score descending.
- `diagnostics` (object) — Neighbours used, algorithm, and build time — useful when a result looks off.

### `results[]`

- `user_id` (uuid) — account_id of the similar account.
- `username` (string) — Handle.
- `full_name / bio` (string) — Display name and bio text.
- `score` (number) — Graph-overlap score. Comparable only within this response.
- `follower_count` (integer) — Follower count.
- `region` (string) — Region code.
- `has_collaborated` (boolean) — Whether this account has an ad collaboration with the seed.
- `last_collaboration_date` (date | null) — Most recent collaboration date.
- `recent_media` (object[]) — Recent post previews.

```console
$ solari instagram account similar username=oliveyoung_official limit=8

## Notes

- Takes a handle only — an account_id UUID is not accepted here.
- For similarity by brand collaboration instead of graph overlap, use brand top collaborators.
