• server.js:687-743 (handler)

  The core handler function for all web_data_* tools, including web_data_instagram_profiles. It triggers a dataset collection using the BrightData Datasets API with the specific dataset_id and polls the snapshot until ready, returning the JSON data.

  execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{
      let trigger_response = await axios({
          url: 'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger',
          params: {dataset_id, include_errors: true},
          method: 'POST',
          data: [data],
          headers: api_headers(),
      });
      if (!trigger_response.data?.snapshot_id)
          throw new Error('No snapshot ID returned from request');
      let snapshot_id = trigger_response.data.snapshot_id;
      console.error(`[web_data_${id}] triggered collection with `
          +`snapshot ID: ${snapshot_id}`);
      let max_attempts = 600;
      let attempts = 0;
      while (attempts < max_attempts)
      {
          try {
              if (ctx && ctx.reportProgress)
              {
                  await ctx.reportProgress({
                      progress: attempts,
                      total: max_attempts,
                      message: `Polling for data (attempt `
                          +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`,
                  });
              }
              let snapshot_response = await axios({
                  url: `https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3`
                      +`/snapshot/${snapshot_id}`,
                  params: {format: 'json'},

                      +`polling again (attempt `
                      +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`);
                  attempts++;
                  await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
                  continue;
              }
              console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot data received `
                  +`after ${attempts + 1} attempts`);
              let result_data = JSON.stringify(snapshot_response.data);

          +`for data`);
  }),

• server.js:683-744 (registration)

  The addTool call within the loop that registers the 'web_data_instagram_profiles' tool (when id='instagram_profiles') to the FastMCP server, specifying name, description, input schema, and handler.

  addTool({
      name: `web_data_${id}`,
      description,

• server.js:676-682 (schema)

  Dynamically constructs the Zod input schema object from the dataset configuration's 'inputs' array. For 'instagram_profiles', this yields parameters: { url: z.string().url() }.

  let parameters = {};
  for (let input of inputs)
  {
      let param_schema = input=='url' ? z.string().url() : z.string();
      parameters[input] = defaults[input] !== undefined ?
          param_schema.default(defaults[input]) : param_schema;
  }

• server.js:428-436 (helper)

  Dataset configuration specifically for 'instagram_profiles', providing the id used in tool name 'web_data_instagram_profiles', the BrightData dataset_id, tool description, and input fields.

      id: 'instagram_profiles',
      dataset_id: 'gd_l1vikfch901nx3by4',
      description: [
          'Quickly read structured Instagram profile data.',
          'Requires a valid Instagram URL.',
          'This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping',
      ].join('\n'),
      inputs: ['url'],
  },
