Profile › Full

GET
/v1/instagram/profile/full

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.

Query Parameters

handle*string

Instagram username or handle, with or without a leading @. One of the identity params is required.

posts?integer

How many of the fetched recent posts to return and compute the metrics over (1-100, default 25). One call reads one page, which on Instagram is 12 posts, so a larger value returns that page and a _warnings note; pass posts_cursor back as cursor for the next page.

cursor?string

Pass a prior response's posts_cursor to read the next page of posts.

include?string

CSV subset of posts,computed (default both). include=computed omits the raw posts[] array from the response to save payload. The metrics are computed from the same fetched posts either way, so they do not change.

Profile › About GET

Returns Instagram's "About this account" details for a public account (country, month joined, published contact) plus its follower count and lifetime post count. Use it when you need an account's total post count, or to tell where a creator is based, for example to include or exclude a region. **20 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 24h is free.

Profile › Posts › Full GET

Returns a user's recent posts with likes, comments, views, and a per-post share count where the second source exposes one, plus a coverage figure. Use it when share counts matter across a whole feed; profile/posts is the lighter choice when likes and comments are enough. **Metered: 100–500 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).
