Instagram details (v1)

One Instagram post, reel or carousel, in the standard content shape.

Reads a single post from its URL and returns it in the standardised shape, so one parser covers this and the equivalent endpoint on every other platform.

Carousels return each slide. Video posts carry a view count; photo and carousel posts do not publish one, so it comes back null rather than zero.

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.

The example response below is real output from this endpoint, not an illustration. Long lists and long strings are shortened to keep the page readable, and each place that happens is marked. This example took 7.5s.
