## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify the specific accounts that liked a particular Instagram post or reel, given a URL or shortcode. Prefer it over general Instagram analytics tools when you need raw liker identity data rather than aggregate engagement counts. Particularly useful for audience research, lead generation from engaged followers, influencer vetting, and campaign monitoring.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL — returns an error indicating the URL could not be parsed
- Post is private or deleted — no likes can be retrieved, returns an error or empty result
- Shortcode does not correspond to an existing post — returns not found error
- Rate limiting by the underlying Instagram data source — may return a throttling or timeout error
- Neither url nor code parameter provided — returns a validation error requiring at least one identifier

## How this service works
