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
An array of up to 200 post objects, each containing post ID, shortcode, URL, type (photo/video/carousel/reel), isVideo flag, caption, Unix timestamp, takenAt string, like count, comment count, view count, and thumbnail URL. Also includes the handle, result count, snapshot ID, and API version. Billed at $0.0018 per post actually delivered.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pull the full Instagram post history for @natgeo — up to 200 posts, exclude reels, and only include posts since January 1 2024.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://instagram.withzero.ai/full-profileWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive archive of an Instagram account's posts (up to 200), especially for historical research, competitive analysis, or content auditing. Prefer this over the cheaper /latest-posts endpoint when you need depth rather than recency, and over the single-handle endpoint when you need more than the first ~12 posts. The metered pricing (pay only for posts delivered) makes it safe to use even when post count is uncertain.
Side effects
- Handle not found or account is private — returns empty posts array with resultCount 0 and no charge
- BrightData dataset ID not configured — returns configuration error
- max_posts out of range (< 1 or > 200) — validation error
- Async pipeline timeout — poll may expire before dataset is ready
- Rate limiting or BrightData quota exceeded — upstream error propagated
- Invalid since_ts value — returns validation error
- Both only_reels and exclude_reels set simultaneously — undefined behavior or validation error
