}A real answer, shortened: lists are cut to two items and long texts to 160 characters.
Price and freshness
A call takes 1 request. Free requests are spent first, then your balance. The pricing page has the rates.
Answers are kept for up to 15 minutes. Asking again inside that time returns the same answer and takes 1 request again.
Page size follows Instagram and varies by endpoint.
Errors
A failed call answers with an HTTP status and a body {error, code}. These are the codes this endpoint gives. Errors and what is charged covers all of them.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
400 | bad_request | A parameter is missing or wrong, or not exactly one of username or id was sent. fields lists the names. Free. |
401 | unauthorized | The X-Api-Key header is missing or the key is wrong. Free. |
402 | credits_exhausted | The free requests and the balance are used up. Top up in the dashboard. Free. |
403 | telegram_required | The account behind the key is not linked to Telegram. The answer has a link_url to do it. Free. |
403 | private_account | The account is private. Charged like an answer. |
404 | not_found | The account does not exist. Charged like an answer. |
429 | rate_limited | More requests in a second than your level allows. Wait for the Retry-After header. Free. |
500 | internal_error | A fault on our side. Retry shortly. Refunded. |
503 | upstream_unavailable | Our side failed or timed out. Retry shortly. Refunded. |
Questions about this endpoint
What is a repost?
A post or reel that the account shared to its own profile from another account. The list holds the reposts of the account, newest first.
How do I read all the reposts of an account?
Send the next_cursor of the answer back as cursor for the next page, and stop when has_more is false. Each page takes 1 request. A cursor works only on the endpoint that returned it.
What happens with a private account?
The reposts of a private account answer private_account (HTTP 403), which is charged like an answer. The profile of that account still works: user/profile.
