Profile › Reels
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.

Query Parameters
Instagram user id. Use this for faster response times. Provide at least one of: user_id, handle.
Instagram username without the @ symbol. Provide at least one of: user_id, handle.
Only reels published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Older reels are left off the page, and the page that reaches one ends the walk: next_cursor is not returned and pagination.stopped_at is since. Pinned reels sit out of date order and never end the walk. The page still costs what a page costs, so a daily poll pays for the pages it walks and no more.
The id (post.id) or URL (post.url) of the newest reel you already hold. The page stops just before it: that reel and everything after it are left off, next_cursor is not returned, and pagination.stopped_at is known_id. A pinned reel never counts as the stop point. If it is not on this page the page is returned in full with its cursor, so keep walking. pagination.stopped_at is end when the list ran out first and null while there is more to walk.
Max id to get more reels. Get 'max_id' from previous response.
Set to true to request the lighter record: a smaller, faster page that keeps the engagement, the author, the caption, the timestamp and the reel URL. What it drops is post.content.media_urls (the video file), post.content.duration_seconds, post.ext.coauthors and post.flags.pinned. The cover image is returned as post.content.thumbnail_url either way. Leave it unset when you need the video URL or the duration.
Set to true to leave out the posts the owner pinned to the top of the profile. A row whose pin state is unknown, which is every row with trim=true, is kept.
Keep only posts published in the last N days (1 to 3650). Older posts are removed from the page, pinned ones included, and once a page reaches posts older than the window next_cursor is not returned, so a walk back to a date window stops on its own. The page still costs what a page costs.
1 <= value <= 3650stats returns the full stat line on every reel: engagement.shares, engagement.saves and post.ext.repost_count beside views, likes, comments, the remix counter, and post.ext.music_id for original sounds and licensed music alike. It is served by a second source, so a cursor from a request without it cannot continue a walk with it; start from page 1. Both tokens can be combined (include=audio,stats).
Optional CSV of labels to add to every post. Without this param every page already carries sponsored, intent and niche, free; label= adds the labels you name to them (the defaults keep running). judgments=off (or label=none) turns the default labels off. sponsored: is the post a paid or gifted promotion (p, 0 to 1), did it carry a disclosure marker such as #ad or 광고 (disclosed), is it likely paid with no marker (undisclosed), and which of the accounts it mentions does it promote (brand, or null). These are signals to review, never a finding. mention (needs brand=): is the post about that brand rather than something that shares its name (about_brand, 0 to 1), how it feels about the brand on five levels (sentiment_level 0 to 4 and sentiment_score 0 to 1, null when the post is not about the brand), is it sarcastic, which aspect it talks about (taste_or_quality, price_or_value, availability_or_delivery, health_or_safety, advertising_or_campaign, customer_service, none), and did the author buy or use it (first_hand). intent: what the author is mainly doing (label: asking_for_recommendation, comparing_options, switching_away, complaining, promoting, news_or_discussion, other, or null when unsure, with confidence), whether they read as a potential buyer rather than a seller (buyer, seller), how pressing the need is (urgency, 0 to 3), and, when you pass offer=, whether your offer would plausibly help them (fits_offer). niche: which of the 33 niches of the published taxonomy is-niche-v1 the caption belongs to, or personal_no_niche, or other (label, confidence, taxonomy), with label null when the caption is too thin to tell or the pick is unsure. It reads the caption only, not the video. quality: how much checkable detail the caption carries (fact_density 0 to 3), whether it mainly asks for likes, replies, shares, follows or tags (engagement_bait, 0 to 1), whether it is written to provoke anger as a way to get engagement (rage_bait, 0 to 1; about the writing, never the side taken), whether it only repeats someone else's news or view (secondhand, 0 to 1), and what the post is mainly doing (post_aim: inform, opinion, sell, entertain, provoke, other). exclude=engagement_bait drops posts whose engagement_bait is 0.8 or higher. injection flags text that addresses an AI system and tries to direct it (flagged, p); it never drops or rewrites a row. A post that could not be judged carries labels: null. Posts already labelled for anyone are free. data.labels reports what was judged and billed.
Optional CSV (engagement_bait), only with label=quality. Drops posts whose engagement_bait probability is 0.8 or higher and lists their ids in data.labels.dropped_ids. A post that could not be judged is never dropped.
Required by label=mention, ignored otherwise. The brand or product the posts are judged against, up to 300 characters, for example brand=Buldak. Without it label=mention is skipped with the warning label_mention_needs_brand and is not billed.
Optional, with label=mention. One plain sentence saying what the brand is, for example brand_description=Samyang's spicy instant noodle brand. Use it when the name is also an ordinary word or another company's name.
Optional, with label=intent. One or two plain sentences saying what you sell, up to 300 characters, for example offer=A web design agency that builds websites for small businesses. Adds fits_offer to every post; without it fits_offer is null.
Optional, on (the default) or off. By default every row gains free judgments (computed.labels, and computed.relevance on search endpoints), reported in data.labels (mode default) and data.relevance (origin default), each with a status (complete, partial or skipped) and pending: the rows still being judged when the page was sent, which carry null now and are filled on your next call or cached read. Default judgments never add credits, never change an existing field, and never drop or reorder a row. off returns the page exactly as before, with none of those keys. label=none does the same.
Value in
- "on"
- "off"
Optional. data.estimate reports rows_expected, rows_cached, label_credits_min, label_credits_max and base_credits. 0 credits charged.
Value in
- "1"
Optional, only with label=. When 1, every labelled row also carries computed.labels_evidence. = { quote, sentence_index }: the sentence in the row that most clearly shows the label, copied verbatim. Absent or null when no single sentence shows it.
Value in
- "1"
Optional. When goal, keep the rows and fields needed for the goal you pass in goal= (plus any that are uncertain, and the first and last), and replace the rest with a stub. data.held_back lists the held ids and a recall id that re-reads the full page from cache. Without this param the page is unchanged.
Value in
- "goal"
Required by fit=goal. What you are trying to do, in your own words, up to 300 characters.
Optional, only with fit=goal. Soft cap on how much of the page to keep, in tokens. Uncertain blocks and the first and last block are kept even if they exceed it.

Returns a user's reels with views, likes, comments, and a per-reel share count where the second source exposes one, plus a coverage figure. Use it when share counts matter across a creator's reels; profile/reels is the lighter choice when views, 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).
Profile GET
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.
