API reference

Instagram Profile with Posts (One Page) API

A real public profile plus one page of posts/videos, preserving original normalized component fields and source order. HTTP 200 may be partial: inspect complete, partial and legs. Failed profile: no posts requested, zero charge. Failed posts: profile retained and only that successful component charged. Cached components use the public cache-hit price. Computed fields summarize the returned page, including available engagement averages and observed posting frequency. Missing metrics remain unknown.

Parameters

Query parameters

Useful optional inputs

fit — Use fit=goal with a task description to replace confidently irrelevant records with recall stubs and reduce agent context.
No fit surcharge; full evidence is retained for 24 hours when stored, and the response size target is soft.
cursor — Continue the same source traversal with the complete returned cursor.
Saved-result retrieval and a new source page can have different prices; quote the next call.
dry_run — Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.
Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

Name	Required	Description	Example
`handle`	yes	Public profile identifier. LinkedIn accepts /company/name or /in/name URLs. An optional leading @ is accepted and removed before lookup.	`mrbeast`
`posts`	no	Desired page size, 1-100. Existing components choose their own page size; the entire single source page is preserved, even if longer or shorter, so no records are skipped between cursors. No automatic extra pages.	`25`
`cursor`	no	Opaque posts_cursor from the previous response; use posts_pagination.next_params to retain all required context. Unsupported component continuation is refused before calls.	—
`include`	no	CSV: posts and/or computed (default both), or profile alone. Profile is always returned. Computed is arithmetic over this page only, not an AI summary.	`posts,computed`
`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. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.	`1`
`judgments`	no	Add bounded AI labels to eligible returned records (default on). off preserves the original data shape. Unclassified records remain present; labels depend on evidence, time, capacity and the existing request budget. No label surcharge. Accepted values: on, off. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.	`on`
`label`	no	Set none to disable labels; default enables the endpoint’s label set. Equivalent to judgments=off. Accepted values: default, none. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.	`none`
`label_evidence`	no	Include exact supporting sentences and zero-based sentence indexes when a label has validated evidence. No extra charge or change to decisions. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.	`1`
`exclude`	no	Optionally remove confidently labelled engagement bait. Uncertain and unclassified records stay; removed IDs and an owner-bound recall reference are returned. Accepted values: engagement_bait. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.	`engagement_bait`
`fit`	no	Use goal to replace confidently irrelevant records with recall stubs. Keeps first, last, relevant and uncertain records; preserves order. Full evidence is stored for 24 hours when available. Accepted values: goal. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.	`goal`
`goal`	no	Required with fit=goal: describe the task in at most 600 characters. Supplied text is task context, never permission to act on posts.	`Find concrete product complaints`
`tokens`	no	Optional soft response target for fit=goal, 256–32000. Safety and evidence retention take priority, so the returned result may exceed it.	`4000`

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
