Instagram research
Look up public Instagram profiles, posts, and Reels — all as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API, no app scraping or unofficial client libraries.
When to use this skill
- "What's <username>'s Instagram profile / follower count?"
- "Pull the details for this Instagram post."
- "Get <username>'s recent Reels."
- Competitor social audits, influencer vetting, or brand-mention monitoring
scoped to Instagram.
Setup (one-time)
- Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at https://crawlora.net.
- Set
CRAWLORA_API_KEYin the environment before running the helper. - The helper reads
CRAWLORA_API_KEYfrom the environment and sends requests tohttps://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Missing/invalid key →401.
How it works
- Profile —
/instagram/profile/{username}returns public profile
details for a given Instagram username.
- Reels —
/instagram/reels/{id}returns a feed of Reels for an
Instagram user ID, paginated via the optional max_id cursor.
- Post detail —
/instagram/post/{id}/{post_id}returns the media
details of a specific post, keyed by Instagram user ID and post ID.

Calling the API
# Profile:
scripts/crawlora.sh /instagram/profile/nasa | jq '.'
# Reels feed (paginate with max_id from the previous response):
scripts/crawlora.sh /instagram/reels/528817151 | jq '.'
scripts/crawlora.sh /instagram/reels/528817151 max_id=<cursor> | jq '.'
# Post detail (requires both the user ID and the post ID):
scripts/crawlora.sh /instagram/post/528817151/3123456789012345678 | jq '.'Use scripts/crawlora.sh for all requests; it keeps the API key out of command-line arguments.
Endpoint reference
See `reference/endpoints.md` for every Instagram endpoint this skill uses.
Examples
- Influencer vetting: profile + Reels feed to check follower count,
posting cadence, and content mix before a partnership.
- Competitor social audit: pull a competitor's profile stats and recent
Reels to gauge follower growth and content strategy over time.
- Post-level engagement check: given a known post URL, extract the user
ID and post ID, then call /instagram/post/{id}/{post_id} for that post's media details.
Notes & limits
- Credits / pay-on-success: billed only on
2xx; free tier 2,000 credits/mo.
Key at https://crawlora.net.
- Public data only — public profiles/posts; no login, no private content.
Respect Instagram's terms.
- Security: key lives in
CRAWLORA_API_KEYonly — never hardcode, query-param, or commit it. - Numeric user ID, not username, for Reels and post lookups —
/instagram/reels/{id} and /instagram/post/{id}/{post_id} both key off Instagram's internal numeric user ID, not the @username; get it from the /instagram/profile/{username} response first if you only have a handle.
- Narrow public surface — this skill covers profile lookup, Reels feed,
and single-post detail only; there is no keyword/hashtag search or trending endpoint for Instagram.
- Reels pagination is cursor-based via
max_id— follow the cursor
returned in the response to walk beyond the first page.
