Research direction

Start with the repository's scripts that call the /ads_archive endpoint and inspect the fields returned for the advertiser. Compare that response with the linked Ad Library web example to determine whether Instagram username or ID is exposed through the API. Done means identifying a supported request or clearly documenting that the API does not provide this information.
