}Instagram Post
Fetch a single Instagram post or reel by URL (media URLs, like count, owner, type) as normalized JSON. Turn on hostVideo to also get the post’s video on a hosted MP4 link that plays without an Instagram session, charged as an extra on top of the price. If you want the spoken words as well, instagram.reel_transcript transcribes the same reel.
Price: $0.50 per 1,000 requests (flat per request - same cost regardless of results returned).
Routing: 5 independent lanes are available in execution order. A failed attempt uses the next lane only when the request’s payment authorizes that lane’s price; the normalized schema stays the same.
Catalog: Instagram Post pricing and uptime - live USD price, lane routing, and measured 30-day uptime. Every Instagram endpoint.

}Authorizations
Your AnyAPI key as a Bearer token.
Headers
Optional wallet idempotency key, scoped to this customer for 24 hours. When the gateway honors the key, this synchronous in-process execution can continue after the caller disconnects, bounded by its execution deadline. A completed replayable result charges normally exactly once and can be replayed without another provider run or charge. A pending duplicate returns 409 idempotency_in_progress; reuse with different request semantics returns 409 idempotency_conflict.
1 - 255Query Parameters
Optional. Comma-separated keys (dotted paths like author.name descend into nested objects) to keep on each result item: each row of the API's result list, or the data object itself for an API that returns one record. Keys are matched relative to that item, not against the top-level response envelope, so use jq to reshape the whole envelope. Shrinks the response without changing cost.
Optional. Cap the number of result rows returned; a _truncated note reports how many were withheld so you can page via the API's own limit. An API that returns one record is not trimmed. Does not change cost.
x >= 0Optional. Return only a structural outline (top-level keys, item counts, and per-field byte sizes) instead of the full data. Does not change cost.
Optional. A jq expression applied to the result envelope; its output replaces output (multiple outputs collect into an array). Reshape freely, e.g. jq=.data | {title, description, md: .markdown[:3500]}. Runs sandboxed with a 250ms / 2MB budget; on failure the full result is returned with a jqError. Does not change cost.
Optional. The most you are willing to pay for this one request, in US dollars (for example 0.05). Any route that would charge more than this is not used, so a request only ever runs on something you can afford. If nothing is available at or below your amount, the request is refused before it runs, nothing is charged, and the message tells you the cheapest price per request so you can raise it. Leave it out to accept the normal price.
Body
Full Instagram post or reel URL, carrying the media shortcode: /p/, /reel/, /reels/, or /tv/. A profile URL such as https://www.instagram.com/username names no post, so it is rejected instead of charged for an empty result - send that account's handle to instagram.profile, or its posts to instagram.user_posts.
^https?://(?:www\.)?instagram\.com/(?:[A-Za-z0-9_.]+/)?(?:p|reel|reels|tv)/[A-Za-z0-9_-]+/?(?:[?#].*)?$Optional, default true. When false, only the sources listed in source may serve; the request is refused with no charge if none of them can. When true, the listed sources are tried first and any other source may serve after them, at the normal price.
Set true to also get the post's video on a hosted MP4 link that plays without an Instagram session. The file is downloaded and stored for you, and the response adds hostedUrl, expiresUtc and bytes. It is charged as an extra on top of the price, and it never changes which source serves you: every source offers it at the same price. A post with no video, or a post that does not exist, is refused with no charge rather than billed for a file that cannot exist. Omit it and nothing is downloaded, nothing is stored, and nothing extra is charged.
Optional. Source ids to skip for this request, taken from this endpoint's lanes[].source.id. The cheapest remaining source serves and the price is that of the dearest remaining source. An id that does not serve this endpoint, or that is also in source, is rejected as invalid input with no charge; skipping every source is rejected the same way.
1Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Prefer sources whose typical response time (median over the trailing 30 days, as published on this endpoint's lane health) is under this many milliseconds; among those, the cheapest serves. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source misses the target, a faster and dearer one serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. If no source is that fast the request is still served, by whichever source offers the best speed for its price - it is never refused for being slow. Sources we have not timed are tried last. This is a preference, not a guarantee: the median describes past requests and is not a ceiling on this one, and it excludes any wait this request itself asks for. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only: later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.
x >= 1Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example plays, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a post that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
altText, audioId, countsHidden, durationSeconds, hasAudio, locationId, locationLat, locationLng, plays, reshares, soundAuthor, soundTitle Deprecated; send requireFields: ["plays"] instead, which does exactly the same thing. Set true to be served only by a source that reports a reel's play count. Omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving, which does not carry play counts, so plays is absent from its responses. This can raise your price: opting in routes to a source that reports the count, and you are quoted and charged its price. It stays accepted so callers that already send it keep working.
Optional. Source ids to prefer, in order, taken from this endpoint's lanes[].source.id in /catalog or /apis. Omit it and the cheapest source serves, with automatic failover. Listed sources are tried first in the order given, then the others, unless allowFallbacks is false. A single source with allowFallbacks false is served only by that source at its price, quoted and charged exactly, with no failover. The price is that of the dearest source that may serve. An id that does not serve this endpoint is rejected as invalid input with no charge; a listed source that is not serving right now is refused with no charge, so omit source to be served by another. On a paginated walk, later pages must include the source that served page one, or omit source.
1Response
Normalized result.
USD charged on the original run. On a replay this value is echoed for parity; the replay itself is free.
Number of result rows returned; an API that returns one record counts it as one row. For per-result APIs the per-item cost is charged against this count; for input-priced APIs the charge is per submitted input, independent of this count.
Normalized output, or null when the replay payload was not retained.

Instagram's generated accessibility description of the media. Null when this source does not report it.
Instagram audio id of the sound; pass it to instagram.audio_reels as audioId to list other reels using it. Null when the media has no sound or this source does not report it.
Profile picture URL of the posting account.
Size of the hosted MP4 in bytes. Present only when the request set hostVideo to true.

True when the post is tagged as a paid partnership.
Number of plays of the reel or video. Absent when Instagram does not expose a play count for this media, and on lanes that cannot serve it.
Instagram product type of the media, for example feed, clips or igtv.
Number of times the post has been reshared. Null when this source does not report it.
Credited author of the sound. Null when the media has no sound or this source does not report it.
Name of the sound. "Original audio" means the creator's own audio rather than a licensed track. Null when the media has no sound or this source does not report it.
Instagram user id of the posting account.
True when the posting account carries a verified badge.
Present only when found is false, and says why there is no result. not_found: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A found: false answer is a successful call, not an error, and costUsd is what it actually cost.
not_found Always "AnyAPI".
True when this response replays the durable result of an earlier run without billing or upstream execution.
Optional one-line nudge, absent when there is nothing to say. large_result: suggests the fields/max_items/summary/jq controls for a big response. paging_unavailable: means this result came from a source that cannot return a nextCursor, so it may be INCOMPLETE and cannot be continued - re-run with requireFields: ["nextCursor"] to be served only by a source that can page, which may cost more per request. malformed_query: means X read your search query differently than it looks (adjacent bare words are ANDed and OR binds tighter, so a multi-word alternative is not a phrase, and an operator after an unbracketed OR list applies to its last alternative only); the run was served and billed as X read it, and the hint carries the corrected query to send instead. date_adjusted: means a date you sent was outside the range the platform accepts, so the run used the nearest accepted date the hint names.
Present only when a jq expression failed; output then carries the full unshaped result and this explains why the reshape did not apply.
Opaque handle to the full unshaped result, cached ~15 min. Re-shape it for free (fields/max_items/summary/jq) via GET /v1/results/{id}, no re-billing. Absent when the result was too large to cache.
The source that served this run. Pass its id back as source to prefer it again, or as ignoreSources to avoid it. Absent when no source identity applies to the run.
