Instagram API
Public Instagram data through a pay-per-request API
About Instagram API
Instagram API is a developer API for pulling public Instagram data, including profiles, posts, reels, stories, hashtags, locations and search results, through a single key. It is aimed at developers, analytics teams, marketers and builders of AI agents who need this data without going through Meta's Graph API app review or OAuth.
Usage is billed with prepaid credits, and a credit is charged only when a request actually queries Instagram, so bad input and provider outages are free. New accounts get 50 free credits with no card required. Responses are JSON with predictable shapes and typed errors.
The site also offers an MCP server and says the API works with AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT. Listed use cases include influencer analytics, brand monitoring, lead generation and feeding AI agents.
