Instagram API
The Instagram API from ScrapeCreators gives developers reliable access to Instagram data without the hassle of building and maintaining scrapers. Our Instagram API endpoints make it easy to retrieve profiles, posts, metrics, and more from Instagram in real-time for your applications. Gets Instagram profiles, posts, and reels
What You Can Do With The Instagram API
Profile
Gets public Instagram profile data, recent posts, and related accounts
Posts
Get a public profile's public posts.
Post/Reel Info
Get the public detailed information about a specific post or reel
Transcript
Get the transcript of an Instagram post or reel. This is a little slow since I run it through an AI. You should get results in 10-30 seconds. If no one is spreaking it should return null. Since some posts are carousel, it will return a transcript for each item in the carousel.
Reels
Get all public reels from a profile. Can provide a user_id or handle, but for faster response times, use user_id. This won't include pinned reels right now. And I'm not sure why, but it looks like IG doesn't return the description of the reel on this endpoint :( You'll have to use the post detail endpoint to get that.
Reels (We handle pagination)
Get the public reels from a user's profile. Can provide a user_id or handle, but for faster response times, use user_id. This won't include pinned reels right now. And I'm not sure why, but it looks like IG doesn't return the description of the reel on this endpoint :( You'll have to use the post detail endpoint to get that.
Story Highlights
Get story highlights from an Instagram user
Highlights Details
Get details about a specific highlight
