How this service works
fetcher.sh is an x402 web-data and scraping API: 111 endpoints for Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Google, App Store, and Yelp — paid per call in USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana, or with prepaid credits. Built for AI agents: no accounts, no OAuth, no subscriptions.
Output
Returns structured data about the Instagram post including caption text, like count, comment count, author/account details, post timestamp, media URL(s), and post metadata — all derived from scraping the public Instagram post page.
Example use cases
Track influencer post performance
“Grab the details for this Instagram post — shortcode Dq8XfGhTkLm — I need the like count, comment count, and caption so I can report on how well this influencer's sponsored post did.”
Archive a competitor's campaign post
“Fetch all the info you can on this Instagram post with code BpR7wNjQvKs — caption, author, media URL, and when it was posted — so I can save it to our competitor tracking sheet.”
Verify content before partnership
“I'm considering working with an influencer — can you look up their Instagram post CmT9vYsXzJa and tell me the engagement numbers and what the caption says?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fetcher.sh/api/instagram/post/code/%7Bcode%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to retrieve Instagram post data without setting up OAuth, Instagram Graph API credentials, or managing app review. Ideal for AI agents that need on-demand, per-call access to Instagram post details paid in USDC with no subscription overhead. Best for single-post lookups by shortcode where quick, frictionless access is more important than bulk data.
Side effects
- Post is private or deleted — returns error or empty result
- Invalid or malformed shortcode — returns 404 or error response
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures block the request
- Post exists but has restricted visibility (geo-blocked, age-gated)
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — request not processed
