How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of results and an array of items, each containing fields such as post ID, URL, type, caption, hashtags, short code, record type, and product type. When includePostDetails is true, items also include timestamps, engagement counts (likes, comments), media dimensions, and direct media links.

Example use cases

Brand mention monitoring on Instagram

“Fetch the latest 12 Instagram posts mentioning 'NikeRunning' — I want captions, hashtags, and engagement counts for each post, and only show me posts from the last 7 days.”

Competitor profile content audit

“Scrape the most recent posts from instagram.com/patagonia — give me up to 12 posts with captions, timestamps, media links, and any hashtags they used.”

Endpoint

POSThttps://x402.186-241-26-229.sslip.io/v1/instagram?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Instagram data (posts, reels, or profile details) without maintaining your own scraping infrastructure. It is ideal for agents that need on-demand, pay-per-use Instagram data with no subscription commitment. Prefer it over browser automation when you need clean JSON output quickly, and over the official Instagram API when you need public data without OAuth or app review. Best suited for public content discovery, competitor research, hashtag analysis, and content audits.

Side effects

Private or restricted accounts return no data — the scraper only accesses public content
Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures may result in empty results (not charged)
Invalid or deleted URLs return empty item arrays
Search terms that match no public discovery feed posts return zero items
Date filters requiring visible timestamps may exclude posts where timestamps are hidden
