## instagram/engagement

`GET /v1/instagram/engagement`

One profile plus one posts page. Computes mean likes plus comments divided by current followers, with paired sample size and formula. Missing metrics excluded. No account-wide or historical inference. Each fresh component call costs at least 5 credits; cache hits use their lower normal price.

*Instagram sampled engagement*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | yes | Instagram username without @. — e.g. `nasa` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 10 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
