Instagram API use cases
Point the herascrape API at a specific job — resolving profiles, exporting followers, tracking hashtags, reading comments and more. Each one is a single REST call per Instagram request.
Every endpoint is $0.0004 per request, flat. Only successful calls are billed.
Resolve a public Instagram profile by username or ID in a single call: follower and following counts, bio, external URL, verification, and media count.
Page through the followers or following of any public account.
Get a hashtag’s metadata and page through its top, recent, or reels media.
Resolve a public post or reel by shortcode or media ID and read its caption, like and comment counts, media URLs, and author.
Read the comment thread on any public post, page by page, then expand reply threads and list the accounts that liked a comment.
Fetch the active 24-hour story reel for a public account — each frame’s media URL, type, and expiry — or pull a specific reel by its reel ID.
List the highlight trays pinned to a public profile, then open any tray to read its saved story items with media URLs and cover art.
Resolve a place by its Instagram location ID, read its name and coordinates, and page through the top or most recent media tagged there.
