Profile › Posts › Full

GET
/v1/instagram/profile/posts/full

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.

Query Parameters

handle?string

Instagram username (with or without a leading @). Required unless user_id is given. The share-count leg needs a handle; a user_id-only call returns views/likes/comments with shares null (billed at the lower end of the range). Provide at least one of: handle, user_id.

user_id?string

Numeric Instagram user id. Alternative to handle. Provide at least one of: handle, user_id.

cursor?string

Opaque cursor from a prior response's next_cursor to page deeper.

limit?integer

Return up to this many items in one call (1-50). The endpoint pages the underlying source server-side until it has collected this many (or runs out), and bills per page read. Omit for a single page.

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).

Profile › Posts GET

Returns a user's recent posts with caption, like and comment counts, media URL, media type, and timestamp; share counts are not included. Collab posts list every co-author under ext.coauthors. Use it for a plain feed pull; profile/posts/full adds per-post share counts. On a collab post the author is whoever created it, so read ext.coauthors for everyone on it. **Metered: 20–340 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).
