Overview

WakeScrap exposes this Instagram endpoint as a live-data API. The platform keeps the documented request and response shape stable while unifying auth, request tracking, and credits billing.

Returns a paginated feed of a user's public Instagram posts, including photos, videos, and carousels. Each item includes media type, shortcode, caption text, like count, comment count, play count, video URLs, image URLs, and tagged users. Play counts reflect Instagram-only views and exclude cross-posted Facebook views. Supports cursor-based pagination via next_max_id for scrolling through the full timeline.

Required params: handle.
