Frequently asked
Can I try the API before paying?
Yes. Every verified account gets 100 free requests, no card needed and no expiry. Sign up, verify your e-mail and run any endpoint in the API Playground.
How much does it cost?
Credit packs are paid once and never expire: Starter ₹499 for 25,000 requests, Pro ₹1,899 for 100,000, Ultra ₹8,499 for 500,000 and Mega ₹14,999 for 1,000,000 (₹0.015 per request). Pay by UPI, card, netbanking or wallet. Outside India, message us on Telegram and we will arrange it.
Do credits expire?
No. Packs have lifetime validity and stack on top of your existing balance, so you can top up whenever you like.
Am I charged for failed requests?
No. One credit is taken only when a request succeeds. Private accounts, deleted posts, bad links, timeouts and upstream errors cost nothing.
What can I extract?
Reels, posts and carousels (HD video and every slide), profile details and the HD profile picture, user posts and reels feeds, stories, highlights, post comments and audio tracks.
Do I need my own Instagram accounts, cookies or proxies?
No. Session rotation, proxies and anti-bot handling run on our side. You send a link or username and get clean JSON.
How fast is it?
Cached answers come back in milliseconds; a fresh extraction usually takes one to three seconds. Cache lifetimes are listed on every endpoint.
How do I authenticate?
Send your API key in the X-API-Key header. Your key and secret are in your dashboard and in the welcome e-mail.
