Build around documented limits

  • Available data: visibility and upstream restrictions affect the returned fields. Private content and complete datasets are not guaranteed.
  • Verified accounts: the followers endpoint exposes approximately one page of 50 followers for verified accounts, with no continuation cursor or name filtering.
  • Comments: request sort_order=recent and pass next_min_id as min_id. Hidden comments and full reply threads may be unavailable.
  • Pagination: store cursors and deduplicate identifiers. Follow Retry-After on transient errors; consult the current plan limits.

Is this the official Instagram API?

GetSocialAPI is a third-party data service. These endpoints belong to GetSocialAPI and are separate from Meta’s official APIs. You authenticate with a GetSocialAPI key; you do not supply Instagram account credentials. Check endpoint coverage and limitations against your use case before integrating.
