## instagram/post-stats

`GET /v1/instagram/post-stats`

Public post statistics with a share-capable source preferred through the standard guarded chain. Shares mean public reshares; saves/reposts remain null when absent. Not private creator analytics. Fresh lookup costs at least 5 credits; the ordinary post route is unchanged.

*Instagram public post statistics*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | yes | Public post/reel URL. — e.g. `https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdRyQxKteC1/` |
| `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:** 5 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.
