Instagram Post Stats API

Name: Instagram Post Stats API
Brand: SocialCrawl
Availability: InStock

Scrape Instagram Post Stats data with one API call. Returns full engagement stats for a single Instagram post or reel — view (play) count, likes, comments, and the reshare (regram) count. The reshare count is a strong authenticity signal: unlike likes and comments, reshares are hard to inflate, so it helps separate genuine reach from bought engagement. This is the only Instagram endpoint that exposes the reshare count — the standard post endpoint cannot. Pass the post `url` (a /p/, /reel/, or /tv/ link). Instagram does not expose a separate raw share count, so the canonical `engagement.saves` field stays null.
