GET/v1/instagram/profile

Account profile

1 request

Returns the full public picture of an Instagram account: bio text and its links, how many followers it has and how many accounts it follows, whether it is verified, and profile picture URLs. Recent timeline posts come with their engagement (likes, comments, video views), along with a set of related profiles, which helps with account reviews, audience research, and finding similar creators. Instagram sometimes sends media_count as null, or puts only the size of the current batch in edge_owner_to_timeline_media.count. Call Profile Post Count when you need the true total number of posts.

Query parameters

`handle` stringrequired	The account's Instagram handle.
`trim` boolean	When true, returns a slimmer response.
`cache_max_age` string	Accept a stored response up to this age. Inside that window the answer is free and comes back with `cached: true` and a `cached_at` time; past it, the request runs live for 1 request. `1d3d7d14d30d`

curl "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/instagram/profile?handle=jane" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY"

GET/v1/instagram/basic-profile

Lightweight profile by user ID

1 request

Returns a compact Instagram profile for a numeric user ID: username and full name, bio, the URL of the profile picture, verification flag, follower, following, and media counts, and whether the account is private and what type it is. Use it for fast lookups or enrichment when the ID is already known.

Query parameters

`userId` string	Numeric Instagram user id.
`cache_max_age` string	Accept a stored response up to this age. Inside that window the answer is free and comes back with `cached: true` and a `cached_at` time; past it, the request runs live for 1 request. `1d3d7d14d30d`

GET/v2/instagram/user/posts

Posts by an account

1 request

Pages through an account's public Instagram posts: reels, photos, videos, and carousels. Every item carries its media type, shortcode, caption, like, comment, and play counts, tagged users, video and image URLs, and the publish time as an ISO 8601 UTC string in items[].created_at; the raw Unix timestamp is kept in items[].taken_at. Play counts cover Instagram views only and leave out views from cross-posting to Facebook. Pass next_max_id to keep walking back through the timeline.

Query parameters

`handle` stringrequired	The account's Instagram handle.
`next_max_id` string	Pagination cursor for the next page of results.
`trim` boolean	When true, returns a slimmer response.

GET/v1/instagram/user/reels

Reels by an account

1 request

Pages through an account's public Instagram reels. Each reel has its shortcode, play, like, and comment counts, video versions with download URLs, a thumbnail, owner details, and the publish time as an ISO 8601 UTC string in items[].media.created_at (or items[].created_at when trim=true); the raw Unix timestamp is kept as taken_at. Captions are not part of this response. Play counts cover Instagram views only and leave out views from cross-posting to Facebook. Pass max_id to get the next page, and supply user_id rather than handle for quicker responses.

Query parameters

`user_id` string	The account's Instagram user id; responses are quicker when you supply it.
`handle` string	The account's Instagram handle. user_id gives quicker responses.
`max_id` string	Pagination cursor; use `max_id` from the prior response.
`trim` boolean	When true, returns a slimmer response.

GET/v1/instagram/post

Post or reel details

1 request

Returns the details of one Instagram post or reel, given its shortcode or URL: caption, like and comment counts, the video URL with its duration and play count, display images, owner details, tagged users, carousel sidecar children where relevant, and the publish time as an ISO 8601 UTC string in data.xdt_shortcode_media.created_at. The raw Unix timestamp is kept in data.xdt_shortcode_media.taken_at_timestamp. Play counts cover Instagram views only and leave out views from cross-posting to Facebook. Set include_play_count=false to drop the play count, which skips an extra fetch and speeds up the response.

Query parameters

`url` stringrequired	URL of the Instagram post or reel.
`region` string	Two-letter country code to localise results.
`trim` boolean	When true, returns a slimmer response.
`include_play_count` boolean	On unless set to false. Turning it off drops `video_play_count` and the extra lookup behind it, so the call returns faster.
`cache_max_age` string	Accept a stored response up to this age. Inside that window the answer is free and comes back with `cached: true` and a `cached_at` time; past it, the request runs live for 1 request. `1d3d7d14d30d`

Uses AI to transcribe the speech in a reel or video post on Instagram. Videos must be shorter than 2 minutes. The transcripts array lists each item's shortcode with its text, and a carousel yields one entry per video slide. Responses typically take 10 to 30 seconds, and the transcript is null if no speech is found.

Query parameters

`url` stringrequired	URL of the Instagram post or reel.
`cache_max_age` string	Accept a stored response up to this age. Inside that window the answer is free and comes back with `cached: true` and a `cached_at` time; past it, the request runs live for 1 request. `1d3d7d14d30d`

GET/v1/instagram/reels/trending

Trending reels

1 request

Collects the reels currently trending on instagram.com/reels, Instagram's public reels page. Instagram hands out a small, partly overlapping batch per request, so call the endpoint repeatedly to collect more. Each call tends to bring mostly fresh reels, though some repeats are expected because Instagram's reels page works the same way. The reels array holds reel objects with user details, shortcode, caption, URL, media URLs, and engagement counts where Instagram exposes them.

Query parameters

None.

GET/v2/instagram/post/comments

Post comments

1 request15 requests with include_replies, charged even when no replies come back

Lists the comments left under an Instagram post or reel that is public. For every comment you get its text, creation time, the reply count if Instagram exposes it, and the author's username, user ID, verified flag and avatar URL. child_comment_count is null whenever Instagram hides that number. Pass include_replies=true to attach the first page of replies to each comment as replies, replies_cursor and has_more_replies. Because that triggers one extra Instagram replies lookup per comment, the request is billed a flat 15 requests even if no replies come back, runs far slower than a plain comments call, and can exceed the 29-second timeout. Page through more comments with the cursor.

Query parameters

`url` stringrequired	Link to the Instagram post or reel.
`cursor` string	Pagination cursor taken from the `cursor` field of the previous response.
`include_replies` boolean	When true, adds the first page of replies to every comment. Billed at a flat 15 requests even with zero replies, far slower, and can exceed the 29-second timeout.

GET/v1/instagram/profile/post-count

Number of posts

1 request

Reads the post total displayed on a public Instagram profile. Reach for it when Profile gives a null media_count or when edge_owner_to_timeline_media.count only reflects the current batch. It runs separately, so the main Profile endpoint stays fast. A full figure such as 12,345 Posts comes back as that exact integer with is_estimated false. Above 10,000 posts Instagram may only show an abbreviated figure (for example 12K or 1.2M Posts); with allow_estimated=true you receive the scaled integer and is_estimated true. Without that opt-in (omitted or false), an abbreviated count yields a 422 explaining exact precision is unavailable, and you are not charged. If Instagram shows no count at all, you get an error and nothing is deducted.

Query parameters

`handle` stringrequired	Instagram username.
