Crawl4AIInstagramSocial

Posts of an Instagram account

crawl4ai.instagram.user.posts

The latest posts of one Instagram account, newest first, one row per post: code, URL, caption (first 500 characters), likes, comments, time posted, kind (photo, video, reel, carousel), image, video URL, owner. `username` is the account (@name or an instagram.com URL is fine); `limit` up to 48, 12 per page. Without `session` a public account is read in 1 to 3 s; when Instagram refuses, a slower second source answers (about 100 s, billed per record). With `session` (your `sessionid` and `csrftoken` cookies from the Crawl4AI Session extension, used once, never stored) it is read as you. Columns: code, url, caption, likes, comments, taken_at, kind, image, video_url, owner.
