A link as people share it (mobile, short or with tracking), a handle, an ID, or words to search. Each endpoint accepts every common form of its input.

Yes. Every request reads the platform when you send it, unless you allow a cached answer.

What does null mean in a response?

Unknown. A field the platform doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.

Are the fields the same on every platform?

Yes. 27 kinds of data have one schema each. Fields only one platform has sit under platform_specific.

What happens when a platform changes its pages?

We update our parsers. Your fields stay the same, and every endpoint's live status is public.

Do you read private or logged-in content?

No. Only public data that anyone can see without an account: no logins, no private profiles, no paywalled content.

Can my AI agent use it?

Yes. Add the MCP server and sign in with your browser, and your agent can call every endpoint. Or paste our prompt into your coding agent. The docs are also published as Markdown and llms.txt.

Instagram Scraper API: Posts, Profiles, Comments & More

What Instagram data can you get?

Public Instagram profiles with exact follower counts, posts and reels with their likes and views, comments, and transcripts of reels. You also get engagement rates, stories and highlight playlists, similar accounts, hashtags and places with exact post counts, songs and original sounds with the reels that use them, topics and embed code. Search reels and hashtags by keyword, get Instagram's search-box suggestions, find accounts, places and audio in a search engine's web results, and check whether a username is free.

Why not the official Instagram API?

Meta's Instagram API needs App Review and business verification, and it's built for the professional accounts you manage. Its business discovery reads other professional accounts only.

No approval to wait for
One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect.
Anything public
Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app.
No daily quota
You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop.

Call the Instagram API from your code.

Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

Does the Instagram Post API return every image of a carousel?

Yes. media[] has one entry per carousel item, in display order, each with its own link, size and, for videos, length.

Are the follower counts exact?

Yes. Follower and following counts are exact, not rounded the way Instagram's page shows them.

Why is an older comment private_or_unavailable?

Because Instagram has no logged-out lookup by comment ID. We read the post's comments newest first, down to a fixed depth, so a comment further down is reported as unavailable, not deleted.

Does the Instagram Reels Transcript API work for reels that aren't in English?

Yes. Speech-to-text detects the spoken language and returns it in language.
