Get Live Instagram Post

Fetch fresh Instagram post-page data by shortcode. This raw endpoint includes rich post-page fields like coauthors, tagged users, paid partnership metadata, product mentions, music attribution, location, display resources, and video versions.

Note: These fields are only guaranteed on this raw single-post lookup. Cached post-list endpoints may not include them.

Returns fresh video_url (single best stream) and video_versions[] (multi-bitrate). These are signed Instagram CDN URLs valid for ~24h — download promptly. For carousels with embedded videos, see carousel_items[].video_url.

Pricing: 1 credit per post scraped ($0.01)
