Profiles, posts, reels, comments, highlights, audio and the search surfaces. Instagram is the widest of our platforms because Meta splits what looks like one product across many separate surfaces, and each needs its own endpoint.
26 endpoints. They share the base URL, authentication and response envelope described in the guides.
Worth knowing
Instagram publishes a post's view count only for video. Photo and carousel posts return null rather than zero, because zero would be a claim we cannot support.
Share and save counts are visible only to the account that owns a post. No public surface carries them, so we never populate them.
