Post › Stats

GET
/v1/instagram/post/stats

Returns one post's engagement: likes, comments, and, on video posts only, the play count and the share count shown by the paper plane icon. Collab posts also list co-authors under ext.coauthors.

Use it when you need the share count for a single post, or the co-author list of one collab post; views also come on post itself, and photo posts return both numbers as null.

Metered: 100–180 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

url*string

URL of the Instagram post (a /p/, /reel/, or /tv/ link).

safe_url?boolean

When true, returns URL-safe media links suitable for embedding.

include?"saves"

Set to saves (one token only) to ask a third source for a reel's save count (post.engagement.saves) and repost count (post.ext.repost_count) when the plain call returned without them. Photos and carousels are never looked up, because Instagram publishes no save count on them.

Value in

  • "saves"

Post › Likers GET

Returns a sample of the accounts that liked a post, each with username, display name, avatar, and verification status, plus the full like count. Use it to see who liked a post, accepting that Instagram exposes only about the first 100 likers however many likes the post has. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Post GET

Returns one post's details: caption, view count on videos and reels, like and comment counts, media URLs, media type, the author, and any tagged users. Use it for the standard single post lookup, views included on video; use post/stats only when you also need the share count. **20 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.
