Instagram API

Instagram data on demand: profile lookup by @handle, posts, reels, stories, tagged posts, followers and followings, hashtag and location feeds, audio/music feeds, and post comments — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No login, no session cookies, no headless browser, no Graph API business verification.

Base URL: https://instagram.fetcher.sh

Quick reference


Base URL	`https://instagram.fetcher.sh`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer bby_live_...` or x402 (USDC)
Price	$0.004/call (flat)
Endpoints	16, all `GET`
MCP	`https://instagram.fetcher.sh/mcp`
Machine-readable	`/openapi.json` · `/llms.txt` · `/skill.md`

Which endpoint do I need?

I want to...	Call
Look up a profile by @handle	`GET /api/user/handle/{handle}`
Search accounts by name	`GET /api/user/search`
Get a user's posts, reels, or stories	`GET /api/user/{id}/posts` / `/reels` / `/stories`
Get a user's followers or followings	`GET /api/user/{id}/followers` / `/followings`
Look up a post by its share-URL shortcode	`GET /api/post/code/{code}`
Get a post's comments	`GET /api/post/{id}/comments`
Find posts under a hashtag	`GET /api/hashtag/{name}/posts`
Find posts tagged at a location	`GET /api/location/{id}/posts`

Full param details for every row: `references/endpoints.md`.

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the `fetcher` skill:

bash

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/handle/nasa"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the HTTP status mirrors status.

Endpoints (16 — all GET, $0.004/call)

Endpoint	What it returns
`/api/user/handle/{handle}`	Full profile by @handle — follower counts, bio, numeric ID
`/api/user/search`	Profiles matching a keyword query
`/api/userid/{handle}`	Just the numeric user ID for a @handle
`/api/user/{id}`	Profile by numeric ID
`/api/user/{id}/posts`	A user's posts
`/api/user/{id}/posts/tagged`	Posts the user is tagged in
`/api/user/{id}/reels`	A user's reels
`/api/user/{id}/stories`	A user's active stories
`/api/user/{id}/followers`	A user's followers
`/api/user/{id}/followings`	Accounts a user follows
`/api/post/code/{code}`	A single post by its shortcode (from the post URL)
`/api/post/{id}/comments`	A post's comments
`/api/hashtag/{name}/posts`	Posts under a hashtag
`/api/hashtag/{name}/reels`	Reels under a hashtag
`/api/location/{id}/posts`	Posts tagged at a location
`/api/audio/{id}/posts`	Posts using a specific audio/music track

{id} / {handle} / {name} / {code} are path parameters. Optional cursor / page paginate; query (user search) is required where it appears.

Scenarios

Resolve a profile by handle — the endpoint most callers want first:

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/handle/nasa"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/handle/natgeo"

Search for profiles by keyword, or resolve just the numeric ID for a handle:

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "query=fitness influencer" -G \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/search"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/userid/nasa"

A profile's posts, reels, stories, and tagged posts (by numeric ID from the handle lookup above):

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/528817151/posts"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/528817151/reels"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/528817151/stories"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/528817151/posts/tagged"

Followers and followings:

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/528817151/followers"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/user/528817151/followings"

A single post by shortcode (the part of the URL after `/p/`), and its comments:

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/post/code/C0JD3tntcmy"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/post/3245142029192513970/comments"

Posts and reels under a hashtag, posts from a location, and posts using an audio track:

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/hashtag/travel/posts"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/hashtag/travel/reels"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/location/213131048/posts"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://instagram.fetcher.sh/api/audio/271328201351336/posts"

Free: search_endpoints, describe_endpoint, check_balance. Paid: fetch_data (any endpoint above), topup_credits, plus the named shortcut instagram_user_handle. Drop the headers block to pay per call with x402 instead — see the `fetcher` skill for the full flow.

Errors

400 — missing/invalid parameter (message names it)
401 — unknown or rotated key
402 — payment required (x402 challenge) or topup_required (credits

exhausted)

404 — not a priced path
No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes

delivery)
