FAQ

About the Instagram API

The AnyAPI Instagram API returns Instagram data as normalized JSON across 24 endpoints: profile, user posts, post, user reels, post comments, hashtag search, audio reels, basic profile, comment replies, embed, followers, following, hashtag analytics, highlight detail, media transcript, reel transcript, reels search, search, search profiles, stories full, stories thin, tagged posts, trending reels, and user highlights. You call one endpoint per job with a single key, and AnyAPI routes each request across 5 sources, falling back automatically when one fails. Pricing is in US dollars, from $0.90 per 1,000 requests on the cheapest endpoint, with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 92.9% of Instagram calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a request-weighted median response time of 6.0 seconds across 9,559 measured calls.

Pricing is in US dollars, from $0.90 per 1,000 requests on the cheapest endpoint, with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet, each call draws it down, and a failed request costs $0.

24 endpoints: profile, user posts, post, user reels, post comments, hashtag search, audio reels, basic profile, comment replies, embed, followers, following, hashtag analytics, highlight detail, media transcript, reel transcript, reels search, search, search profiles, stories full, stories thin, tagged posts, trending reels, and user highlights. Every one takes the same authentication and returns the same normalized response shape, so reaching a second Instagram endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 92.9% of Instagram calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a request-weighted median response time of 6.0 seconds across 9,559 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.
