POST Creators /scrape/instagram/creators Creators ranked from a keyword search. Put the niche and the place in one query — "finance kolkata". One page load, so it is fast, and because a feed row carries no follower count the ranking is engagement totalled across each account's posts in the results rather than an engagement rate.
POST Fast creators /scrape/instagram/fast_creators Creators ranked from a keyword search, delivered faster. Put the niche and the place in one query. The ranking is engagement totalled across each account's posts in the results — a feed row carries no follower count.
POST Creator profiles /scrape/instagram/creator_profiles Creators from a keyword search, each with their profile loaded, so the ranking is a real engagement rate rather than a raw count. `limit` is how many creators to return and `comment_limit` how many of them to load a profile for. One page load per creator, so it is slower and dearer.
POST Stories /scrape/instagram/stories A profile's stories that are still live. Use `limit` to say how many.
POST Highlights /scrape/instagram/highlights A profile's highlight albums — title, cover and item count.
POST Highlight /scrape/instagram/highlight The stories saved inside one highlight. Use `limit` to say how many.
POST Complete profile /scrape/instagram/complete_profile A profile, its recent posts, and the comments under each of them, assembled into one document. Use `limit` for how many posts.
