How this service works

AnyAPI instagram.user_posts (Instagram User Posts)

Output

Returns a list of Instagram posts for the given handle, each containing post ID, URL, caption text, like count, comment count, and creation date, plus a nextCursor for fetching the next page of results. Also includes a boolean indicating whether the user was found.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Can you pull the recent posts from Instagram user 'natgeo' — I want to see their post URLs, captions, like counts, and comment counts?”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/instagram.user_posts?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve an Instagram user's public post feed with engagement metrics (likes, comments) without managing Instagram API credentials or OAuth. Ideal for influencer research, content auditing, social monitoring, or competitive analysis. Prefer over direct Instagram API when you want pay-per-call pricing with no subscription or OAuth setup.

Side effects

User not found: found=false, data=null returned when the Instagram handle doesn't exist or is private
Invalid handle format: error if handle includes @ symbol or is malformed
Rate limiting or Instagram blocking: upstream scraper may fail intermittently
Empty results: account exists but has no public posts
Invalid cursor: pagination fails if a stale or invalid nextCursor is supplied

Input

{
  "cursor": "",
  "handle": "natgeo"
}

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
cursor	string	Pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor.
handlerequired	string	Instagram username without the leading @.
source	array	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`.
ignoreSources	array	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.
allowFallbacks	boolean	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.
preferLatencyUnderMs	integer	Optional; 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.
