Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/%7Bid%7D/followingsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need Instagram followings data without setting up OAuth, managing Instagram developer credentials, or having an Instagram account. It is ideal for agents, researchers, or analysts who need programmatic access to social graph data and want to pay per call in USDC rather than commit to a subscription. Prefer this over official Instagram Graph API when you lack app review approval or need faster setup.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent user ID returns an error or empty result
- Private account followings may be inaccessible or return a restricted error
- Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause rate limiting or temporary blocks
- Insufficient payment (USDC) results in a 402 Payment Required response
- User has zero followings returns an empty list
