Real responses are complete. ## One schema on 6 platforms. The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/instagram/engagement/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/engagement/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field Instagram doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts Instagram username with or without the @ (natgeo, @natgeo), a numeric user ID (787132), or a profile link (instagram.com/natgeo, with or without a tab such as /reels/ or /tagged/, m.instagram.com, instagr.am, instagram.com/_u/natgeo, with any query such as ?igsh=…). - ### Write one parser Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and 3 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, instagram, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native account ID (equals profile.id). - **`url`string**: Canonical profile URL (equals profile.url). - **`profile`object**: The account, as its profile endpoint returns it; its metrics.follower_count divides every engagement_rate. - **`posts`object\[\]**: The sampled recent posts in the profile's order, each with its own figures. \[\] when none; \[\] and in unknown_fields when unreadable (a private account, a failed posts request). - **`metrics`object**: Figures over the counted posts (by the account, not pinned); each null when no counted post has its inputs. - **`oldest_post_at`string**: Publish time of the oldest counted post, RFC 3339 UTC: where the sample starts. - **`newest_post_at`string**: Publish time of the newest counted post, RFC 3339 UTC: when the account last posted.

The profile and each post match what the Instagram Profile API and the Instagram Posts API return. - Engagement rate counts likes plus comments, per follower and per view, so it compares across platforms. Share and save averages are null because Instagram doesn't show those counts logged out. - Pinned posts lead a profile whatever their age, so they are flagged (is_pinned) and left out of the figures, as are collabs another account published. - Only reels and videos have view counts, so views per post and the per-view rate cover those. A post whose owner hides its like count is left out of the rates. - A private account returns its profile with posts \[\] listed in unknown_fields and every figure null. When the posts list can't be read, the same answer carries a partial_data warning. ## 1 credit per request. Failed requests are free. Buy credits once and spend them on any endpoint, on any platform.
