Tagged GET

Returns posts that tag a given user, each with its shortcode, URL, caption, media URLs, engagement counts, and the account that posted it. Use it to see what other people posted about an account; profile/posts returns only what the account posted itself. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).

Username Suggestions GET

Returns suggested available Instagram usernames built from a keyword you supply. Use it when picking a new handle; it invents name ideas and does not look up existing accounts, which is what search/profiles does. **100 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.
