Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/post/code/%7Bcode%7DWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need data for a specific known Instagram post and have its shortcode (the alphanumeric code from the post URL). Ideal for agents that need to enrich, archive, or analyze individual posts without requiring Instagram login, OAuth setup, or a subscription. Best when the post code is already known rather than needing search or discovery.
Side effects
- Post not found or deleted — returns 404 or empty result
- Invalid or malformed shortcode — returns error response
- Post is private and not publicly accessible — returns access denied or empty
- Rate limiting or temporary block from Instagram infrastructure — returns 429 or timeout
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — request rejected before processing
