One request instead of a task you poll

Data365's own pages say a task takes 1 to 5 minutes, so your code needs a poller or a callback. Here the answer is in the response, typically in 0.63 s: quick enough for a button or an AI agent.

One Data365 task can also collect up to 20,000 posts of an Instagram profile and call you back when it's done.
