How this service works
Fetch a handle's FULL post history via the BrightData Instagram Posts dataset (async Web Scraper: trigger → poll → download). Metered: buyer authorizes up to $0.36 (200 posts × $0.0018) and is billed $0.0018 per post actually delivered (0 posts → free). Body: handle (required), max_posts (1–200, default 100), since_ts, only_reels, exclude_reels. Requires BRIGHTDATA_IG_POSTS_DATASET_ID to be configured.
Output
Returns an array of up to 1000 post objects for the requested Instagram handle, each containing post ID, shortcode, URL, media type (photo/video/carousel/reel), caption, like count, comment count, view count, thumbnail URL, and timestamps. Also includes total result count, handle, source mode, and optional snapshot ID for the async job.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pull the full post history for the Instagram handle @natgeo — up to 500 posts, photos and carousels only (no reels), going back only to posts after January 1st 2024.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://instagram-data.withzero.ai/full-profileWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need the full or deep post history of a single Instagram handle (up to 1000 posts) and can tolerate an async trigger-poll-download workflow. It is better than the single-handle sync endpoint when you need more than ~12 posts, and better than the batch endpoint when you only need one account but want deep history. The per-post metered billing ($0.0018/post) means you only pay for what is actually delivered.
Side effects
- Handle not found or account is private — returns empty posts array with resultCount 0, billed $0
- BRIGHTDATA_IG_POSTS_DATASET_ID not configured — returns server configuration error
- max_posts exceeds 1000 or is below 1 — returns 400 validation error
- Invalid since_ts value — returns 400 validation error
- BrightData upstream timeout or dataset unavailability — async poll may fail or stall
- Conflicting only_reels and exclude_reels flags both set to true — undefined behavior or error
