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](https://storiesfly.com/developers/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](https://storiesfly.com/developers/docs#errors) 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](https://storiesfly.com/developers/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](https://storiesfly.com/developers/docs/user-profile).
