Use cases
Where Instagram APIs fit.
Post and reel reporting
Refresh public likes, comments and views where Instagram publishes them for posts and reels.
Profile qualification
Check public follower and post counts before adding a profile to a campaign, CRM or review queue.
Recent post monitoring

Link QA
Detect unsupported, deleted or private Instagram links before they pollute reporting jobs.
Platform caveats
Instagram limits.
Views depend on media type
Instagram does not publish views for every post type. Missing view counts are null, not zero.
No Stories or private media
The current product covers public posts, reels and profiles. Stories and private or restricted media are outside scope.
No contact enrichment
Bios, emails, phone numbers, addresses and direct-message handles are excluded from responses.
