FAQ
Questions, answered
Can I get data from private profiles?
No. instagramapi only returns public Instagram data. Private or protected accounts, and anything that would require logging in as a user, are never accessible through the API.
Do I need Instagram OAuth, the Graph API, or app approval?
No. Create an account, grab an API key, and send a request. There's no app review, business verification, or OAuth flow to set up.
How does billing work?
It's prepaid credits, with no subscription. One request costs 1 credit (a few deep endpoints cost 2). You're only charged when we actually query Instagram for you. Bad input and provider outages are free.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Sign up and get 50 free credits, no card required. After that, pay-as-you-go starts at $8.00 per 1,000 requests.
What data can I pull?
Public profiles, posts, reels, stories, comments, followers and following, hashtags, locations, and search, all returned as clean, predictable JSON. See the docs for the full list.
