Instagram Posts API
Posts
for Instagram, in one call.
The Posts endpoint from ScrapeCreators gives developers reliable access to Instagram data without the hassle of building and maintaining scrapers. Our endpoint makes it easy to retrieve posts data in real-time for your applications. Get a persons public posts. *Play counts can sometimes be inaccurate* Play counts are Instagram-only. When a Reel is also cross-posted to Facebook, Instagram (behind login) shows you the combined IG + FB views. But this API will only return the Instagram views.
