Instagram Post Details Scraper

Look up a single Instagram post, reel, or IGTV video by URL or shortcode. Returns the caption, like / comment / share / view counts, media URLs, carousel slides, audio track info, tagged users, location, and author details. Provide exactly one of url or code.

Features

• Real-time Instagram data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds
