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.

Profile › Full GET

Returns the profile plus its latest 12 posts and computed metrics: engagement rate by views and by followers, posting cadence, the top post, and the mix of post formats. Use it instead of calling profile and profile/posts separately; the profile still comes back if posts cannot be fetched, with post metrics null. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
