Pull any public Instagram profile, its followers and following, and search posts through one REST API that returns normalized JSON. No Meta app review, no scrapers or proxies, no platform keys — just call it and ship today.
const res = await fetch( "https://api.socialiq.dev/v1/instagram/users/natgeo", { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer sc_live_..." } });// One public profile as normalized JSON — bio, follower count, verifiedconst { data, page, source } = await res.json();
Approval queues, quotas, and brittle scrapers stand between your agents and Instagram data. SocialiQ removes them.
Meta's Instagram Graph API only works for Business or Creator accounts you own and have linked to a Facebook Page. There's no path to arbitrary public profiles or competitor data — exactly what most analysts and agents actually need.
Advanced Access means business verification, a live-mode app, a privacy policy, a data-deletion flow, and a screencast of your OAuth consent screen. SocialiQ needs none of that — one API key and you're querying in minutes.
The official API exposes none of a third-party account's followers, following, or public post search. Stitching that together yourself means proxies and brittle scrapers that break on every layout change.
Real Instagram coverage on SocialiQ — each capability is a single normalized REST call.
Get any public Instagram profile by handle — bio, counts, and verification in normalized JSON.
/v1/instagram/users/{handle}Page through a public account's followers without an owned account or Graph API access.
/v1/instagram/users/{handle}/followersRetrieve the accounts a public profile follows for network and audience mapping.
/v1/instagram/users/{handle}/followingSearch Instagram posts by query to surface content and trends for your agents.
/v1/instagram/posts/searchOne request
Authenticate with a single SocialiQ key and hit one REST endpoint. The response is the same envelope you get on every platform — so your agents parse Instagram exactly like the rest.
const res = await fetch( "https://api.socialiq.dev/v1/instagram/users/natgeo", { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer sc_live_..." } });// One public profile as normalized JSON — bio, follower count, verifiedconst { data, page, source } = await res.json();
Point your agents at one endpoint and ship — SocialiQ runs the upstream access, retries, and normalization for Instagram.
Profiles, followers, following, and post search all return the same predictable, normalized shape — so your agents and pipelines parse Instagram exactly like every other platform on SocialiQ.
Skip Meta app review, business verification, and the scraper-and-proxy maintenance tax. One SocialiQ key replaces the entire Graph API onboarding gauntlet.
Pay only for the calls you make. No seat licenses, no minimums, no quota tiers gated behind review — scale from a prototype to production on the same key.
Clean routes and consistent fields make every endpoint trivial to wire into AI agents, function calls, and research tooling without per-platform glue code.
What SocialiQ's Instagram API does and how it compares to the official one.
It's an alternative for the cases the Graph API can't serve. Meta's API only reads Business or Creator accounts you own and have linked to a Facebook Page. SocialiQ's Instagram data API returns any public profile, its followers and following, and post search — no owned account or app review required.
No. The official path requires a Business or Creator account, a linked Facebook Page, business verification, and App Review for Advanced Access. With SocialiQ you authenticate with a single API key and start querying immediately — no Meta app, no review.
Yes. GET /v1/instagram/users/{handle}/followers and .../following page through a public account's followers and the accounts it follows, returned as normalized JSON. The Graph API exposes none of this for third-party accounts.
SocialiQ's Instagram coverage is profile- and discovery-focused: get a public profile by handle, list its followers and following, and search posts. Comment threads, media downloads, and post-level analytics are not part of the Instagram endpoints today.
One key, normalized JSON, usage-based pricing. No approval, no scrapers.
