What you can build with the Instagram scraper API

The Instagram scraper API reads public Instagram data as JSON: profiles by username, posts and reels by shortcode, and an engagement audit of an account.

Vet an influencer

Fetch a profile and run the audit endpoint to review an account before you reach out.

GET /api/v1/social/instagram/audit

Read a single post

Look up a post or reel by its shortcode to get its metadata and media for reporting or archiving.

GET /api/v1/social/instagram/posts/{code}

Track profile changes

Call the profile endpoint on a schedule and compare the fields you care about between runs.

GET /api/v1/social/instagram/profiles/{username}

How the Instagram scraper API works

1
Use the right identifier

Profiles use a username. Posts use the shortcode from the post URL.
2
Call the endpoint

For example GET /api/v1/social/instagram/profiles/{username}.
3
Read the fields returned

Profile and post responses differ. Fields that are missing stay missing.
