Uses platform quota
Synchronous response
Reads public data

Parameters

step 3, and the point of no return. Returns {id: <media id>}; the shareable link needs a second call, GET /{media_id}?fields=permalink. A container that was already published, has expired (24h) or errored answers with an error rather than republishing. Meta's limit of 100 API-published posts per 24-hour moving period (carousels count as one) is enforced here — read the remaining allowance at GET /{ig_user_id}/content_publishing_limit before a batch
