InsightSocial APISearch
Returns mixed Instagram search matches for a query: accounts, hashtags, and places in one payload.
Use it when you need the same mixed results Instagram's search box shows; search/profiles, search/hashtag, and search/location split those types.

Returns reels matching a keyword, each with its view count, like count, and author; share and save counts are not included on this endpoint. Use it for keyword based reel discovery; search/hashtag is the better choice when you have a specific tag rather than a phrase. Pass a result URL to post/stats for a reel's share count. **Metered: 20–180 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 1h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
Similar GET
Returns the accounts Instagram suggests as similar to a given user, each with username, display name, avatar URL, verification status, and URL. Use it to find accounts comparable to one you already know; it returns a single fixed list and cannot be paged. **Metered: 100–1700 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.
