Instagram user posts

LiveBeta: the endpoint and its response fields may still change
GEThttps://api.qovia.ai/v1/raw/instagram/user_posts

The posts on a user's profile, the ones the user pinned first, then newest first, 12 a page, as the same records as post detail (same ids) plus saves (videos) and whether the user pinned the post; collab posts the user co-authored carry their publisher as author. The counts of the newest posts can trail post detail by a few hours. Pass either the username or the user ID. Pass the previous page's cursor back unchanged to continue; stop when has_more is false. A user without posts, or one that does not exist, answers empty and is not charged.

Typical uses: Vetting creators, monitoring accounts and benchmarking competitors' accounts.
