What is Instagram Scraper API Real-Time?
Instagram Scraper API Real-Time & Affordable is a freemium REST API on RapidAPI for public Instagram data.
It returns a public profile (bio and follower and following counts), a user's public posts including Reels in that media list, posts they are tagged in, post details by media id or shortcode, shortcode and media-id conversion, and public comments.
Each call counts as one request. The free BASIC plan includes 100 requests per month. Paid plans start at $14.99. Authentication is a RapidAPI key. There is no Instagram login, and only public data is returned.
Docs, the playground, and pricing are on the RapidAPI listing. Example clients for curl, Node, and Python are on GitHub: https://github.com/elijahme2000/instagram-scraper-api-rapidapi
