List public posts by other accounts that tag one Instagram account, given as username, profile URL or numeric user ID. Each post has caption, likes, comments, whether it is a video, image link, poster handle and ID and post time. Up to 200 posts per call, 20 by default. Posts from private accounts are not included.

Price $7.44 per 1,000 requests ($0.007444 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Instagram Tagged posts endpoint (instagram/tagged_posts).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to instagram and action to tagged_posts, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - username: The account other people tagged: a handle such as nasa (a leading @ is removed), a profile URL or a numeric user ID. One account per call.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: post_id, url, tagged_username (The account tagged in the post, which i…), author_username, author_id, text, like_count, comment_count, is_video, posted_at, image_url.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "instagram",
  "action": "tagged_posts",
  "params": {
    "username": "nasa"
  }
}
- Price: $7.44 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`post_id`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`url`	Link to the record on the platform.
`tagged_username`	The account tagged in the post, which is the account you asked about (tagged_posts), the same on every row; the poster is author_username.
`author_username`	Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs.
`author_id`	Author's unique ID on the platform.
`text`	Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
`like_count`	Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
`comment_count`	Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
`is_video`	Whether the item is a video.
`posted_at`	Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
`image_url`	Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
