Instagram data for AI agents
Profiles, reels, hashtag media, locations and explore, returned as structured JSON your agent can call directly. One key, one credit balance, no Instagram developer account.
Copy the setup prompt.
Your agent does the rest.
Connect the superagnt MCP server at https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp/instagram to this agent for me (I'll sign in through my browser). The setup guide for each kind of agent is at https://www.superagnt.com/install?facet=instagram» a new workspace starts with the Instagram tools already on. On an existing workspace, your agent switches them on during setup.
Everything your agent can pull
Public profile by username or user id: bio, follower and following counts, verification, external links and post count.
A creator media list, reels, reposts and tagged media, paged so an agent can walk a whole account rather than the first screen.
Posts under a hashtag, for tracking a campaign tag or watching a niche without a logged-in session.
Keyword search across accounts, related profiles for a user id, and the explore sections themselves.
Cities by country, locations inside a city, location metadata, and the posts shared from a place.
Media info by URL, shortcode from media id, username from user id, and direct download links for images and video.
Music track metadata by id, so an agent can group reels by the sound they use.

Creator vetting before a partnership
The agent resolves a handle to a profile, pulls recent posts and reels, and computes engagement per post against follower count, so you see real numbers instead of a media kit.
Campaign hashtag monitoring
A scheduled run reads media under your campaign tag every morning, writes new posts to the workspace database, and sends a digest of who posted and how it performed.
Competitor content tracking
The agent walks a competitor media list on a cadence, diffs it against what it saw last time, and stores the new posts and captions in a table your team can query.
What comes back
Your agent reads this response directly, with no parsing layer of your own in between. The same JSON comes back over plain HTTP, so a cron job or a script sees exactly what the agent sees.

}What it costs to run
deducted from your credit balance
Every call in Instagram costs the same, and only a successful call is billed.
One balance covers this source and every other one, so there is no per-source subscription and no upstream account of your own to keep alive.
how credits work →Before you wire it up
01Do I need an Instagram developer account?
No. One key and one credit balance cover it. There is no app review, no OAuth flow and no token to keep alive.
02How does my agent get these tools?
Connect your MCP client to https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp. A server created now serves these tools by default. On an older server, have the agent call agnt_tools_enable with the family id data:instagram and they appear in its next tools/list.
03Can I call it over plain HTTP instead of MCP?
Yes. Every tool maps to a REST endpoint under /v1/data/instagram with the same parameters, so a cron job, a script or a curl call works the same way.
04How is usage billed?
Calls consume platform credits based on provider and endpoint. See credit costs in the dashboard and on each endpoint page.
05What about rate limits?
Rate limits depend on your plan. The API returns standard HTTP status codes; retry with backoff on 429 responses.
Point your client at https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp and your agent has this, plus everything else on one balance.
