Instagram Fast tagged API

Posts where this profile was tagged by someone else. Use `limit` to say how many.

Instagram API pricing — $0.50 per 1,000 results

POST /api/public/v1/scrape/instagram/fast_tagged

Returns tagged_feed

Parameters#

username string required

Username, with or without the @.

Example: nasa

limit integer optional

How many results you want. The run is sized from it, and you are billed for exactly that many.

Results#

GET /runs/:id/results answers with this once the run has finished — one result per row.

Every row also carries raw_json — the platform's own object for that row, exactly as it arrived, with nothing removed. It is left out of the example for length.
