Profile
Returns an Instagram account's public profile: bio, exact integer follower count on author.followers, following count, picture URL, verification, and author.ext.public_email from the bio.
Use it for a quick snapshot by handle; profile/about adds the account's lifetime post count, and profile/full adds recent posts and computed metrics.
20 credits per call.
Re-running the exact same call within 24h is free.
Authorization

Query Parameters
Instagram username without the @ symbol
Set to true to get a trimmed response
Optional. When 1, also returns author.ext.contact_email: when the bio lists two or more email addresses, the one the creator gives for contacting them personally, copied verbatim from the bio. Null when there is one address or none, when every address belongs to a manager, agency or brand, or when the choice was not confident. author.ext.public_email is unchanged. No extra credits.

Returns a user's reels with view, like and comment counts and a thumbnail; share counts are not included here. Collab reels list every co-author under ext.coauthors. Use it for reels only rather than the whole post feed; use profile/reels/full when you also need per-reel share counts. **Metered: 20–360 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. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
Reels › Trending GET
Returns reels from Instagram's public trending page, each with shortcode, URL, caption, media URLs, engagement counts where shown, and the account. Use it to sample global trends; it takes no region. Call again to see more. For one region, page location/posts after search/location. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.
