<curl "https://actors-mcp-server.apify.actor/sse?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>&actors=apify/instagram-post-scraper"
# Session id example output:

$curl -X POST "https://actors-mcp-server.apify.actor/message?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>&session_id=<SESSION_ID>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
$ "jsonrpc": "2.0",
$ "id": 1,
$ "method": "tools/call",
$ "params": {
$ "arguments": {
$ "username": [
$ "natgeo"
$ ],
$ "resultsLimit": 30
$},
$ "name": "apify/instagram-post-scraper"
$ }
$}'

The response should be: Accepted. You should received response via SSE (JSON) as:

$event: message
$data: {
$ "result": {
$ "content": [
$ {
$ "type": "text",
$ "text": "ACTOR_RESPONSE"
$ }
$ ]
$ }
$}
