Example request
curl "https://api.insightsocial.app/v1/instagram/post/stats?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FCnpPou9hWqq%2F" \
  -H "x-api-key: $INSIGHTSOCIAL_API_KEY"
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: 50–90 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

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"
dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Value in

  • "1"
