Comprehensive Instagram Platform API API — Free to Use

Track Instagram Analytics at Scale with the Comprehensive Instagram Platform API

Instagram data is gold for marketers, influencers, and agencies. But scraping it manually? That's a headache. The Comprehensive Instagram Platform API gives you programmatic access to profile analytics, engagement metrics, hashtag research, and competitor analysis across 2 billion+ accounts—no web scraping required.

What You Get

This API handles the heavy lifting:

• Profile Analytics: Follower counts, growth rates, engagement metrics, and account metadata
• Post Engagement Tracking: Likes, comments, shares, and save counts per post
• Hashtag Research: Performance data and trend analysis for hashtag strategy
• Competitor Analysis: Compare your metrics against other accounts
• Influencer Discovery: Find creators in your niche with audience overlap data

Perfect for building dashboards, monitoring campaigns, or discovering partnerships.

Real Code Example

Here's how to fetch profile analytics with a single API call:

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'x-rapidapi-key': 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY',
    'x-rapidapi-host': 'comprehensive-instagram-api-api-production.up.railway.app'
  }
};

fetch('https://comprehensive-instagram-api-api-production.up.railway.app/api/profile-analytics?username=instagram&include_stories=true', options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log('Follower Count:', data.followers);
    console.log('Engagement Rate:', data.engagement_rate);
    console.log('Recent Posts:', data.recent_posts);
  })
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

What's happening:

1. Set your RapidAPI key in headers
2. Pass the Instagram username parameter
3. Set include_stories=true to fetch story engagement data
4. Parse the JSON response containing follower metrics, engagement rates, and post-level data

The response includes timestamps, post captions, comment counts, and engagement trends—everything you need for analytics dashboards or reporting tools.
