GET /v1/instagram/basic-profile Get a basic profile by user id.
Posts
GET /v2/instagram/user/posts Get a persons public posts (which includes reels). The published time is returned in `items[].created_at` as an ISO 8601 UTC date. The original Unix timestamp is still available in `items[].taken_at`. *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.

User Tagged Posts
GET /v1/instagram/user/tagged-posts Get public Instagram posts that a user is tagged in.
Reels
GET /v1/instagram/user/reels Get all public reels from a profile. The published time is returned in `items[].media.created_at` as an ISO 8601 UTC date. With `trim=true`, use `items[].created_at`. The original Unix timestamp remains available as `taken_at`. 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. *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.
