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.

Beta. The source's own structure under our naming rules (snake_case keys, string ids, ISO times where the source gives a timestamp), not one of the schema-2 entities. Fields may change. See Schema 2.

Use it when share counts matter across a whole feed; profile/posts is the lighter choice when likes and comments are enough.

Metered: 50–250 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Query Parameters

handle?string

Instagram username (with or without a leading @). Required unless user_id is given. Provide at least one of: handle, user_id.

user_id?string

Numeric Instagram user id. Alternative to handle: the account's username is looked up from the id first, so a user_id call returns the same items, share counts and price as a handle call. An id that matches no account returns 404 and is not charged. 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.

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.

Profile › Full GET

Returns the profile plus its latest 12 posts in one call. Use it instead of calling profile and profile/posts separately; the profile still comes back if posts cannot be fetched.

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.
