How this service works
Pay-per-call e-commerce, product, price and social media data tools for AI agents, from public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.
Output
Returns up to 12 objects, each representing a recent public Instagram post with: shortcode, direct post URL, media type (image/carousel/video/reel), full caption text, Unix post timestamp, like count, comment count, video view count and duration (if applicable), geolocation data if tagged, and thumbnail/image URL. Also includes the account's total post count. Private accounts return an empty list. Only the newest 12 posts are available; pagination is not supported.
Example use cases
Competitor Instagram content audit
“Grab the last 12 posts from @nike on Instagram and show me the caption, post type, number of likes, and comments for each one — I want to see what content formats they've been using lately.”
Influencer engagement snapshot
“Look up the recent Instagram posts for @hummusapien and tell me the likes, comments, and video views on each of the last 12 posts so I can evaluate their engagement before a partnership.”
Brand posting frequency monitor
“Fetch the newest 12 Instagram posts from @sephora, including when each was posted and what type it is (image, reel, carousel), so I can see how often they've been posting and what formats they favor.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.shopsocial-api.workers.dev/api/social/instagram-posts?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick anonymous snapshot of a public Instagram account's recent grid activity — captions, engagement metrics, media types, and post timing — without requiring Instagram API credentials or OAuth. It is best for competitive research, influencer vetting, brand audits, and content monitoring tasks where only the most recent 12 posts are sufficient. Prefer alternatives if you need historical posts beyond 12, comment text, Stories, Highlights, or access to private accounts.
Side effects
- 404 returned for unknown or non-existent Instagram usernames
- Empty list returned for private accounts (no error, just no data)
- 503 returned when throttled by Instagram rate limits (request is not charged)
- Stale or incomplete data if Instagram changes its web profile JSON structure
- No comment text is returned, only comment counts
