LIVEINSTAGRAM USER POSTS API

Query public Instagram user posts by account.

Enter one or more public usernames to retrieve paginated post shortcodes, creators, captions, likes, comments, media types, and ordered assets.

User Posts builds a public content inventory from an account. Select individual posts or all loaded results, export them as CSV or JSON, copy captions and post URLs, or download previews. maxPages controls depth and duplicate posts are removed.

Request to result

From account to paginated post records

01USER

Submit public usernames

One request can include multiple accounts, each with independent feed pagination.

02PAGES

Control depth with maxPages

Start with one page, observe result volume, then raise the limit to at most 20 per user.

03POST ROWS

Return normalized posts

Shortcodes, captions, engagement, and asset metadata are ready for spreadsheets, databases, and analytics workflows.

Operator notes

Use page depth to bound collection scope

Run one page first

The default is enough to validate usernames, mappings, and downstream jobs before collecting deeper history.

Each post becomes one result

Each successfully written post becomes one record. Accounts, maxPages, and available public posts determine volume.

Keep shortcode as the durable key

Asset URLs may expire. postCode and postUrl are better joins for later detail resolution or refreshes.

Common questions

Instagram User Posts API FAQ

How many posts are returned per page?

Instagram commonly returns about 12, but upstream controls the page size and no fixed count is guaranteed.

How many pages can I collect?

maxPages accepts 1–20 and applies independently to every submitted username.

Is an Instagram login required?

No. The interface queries public user feeds and does not bypass private accounts or restricted content.

What information is included for each post?

Each result includes the shortcode, canonical post URL, creator, caption, visible engagement, media flags, and ordered assets.
