Questions

Instagram Location API FAQ

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Still have a question? Talk to the people who build the endpoints.
How much does the Instagram Location API cost?

1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.

What do I send?

Send location_id. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.

Do I need an Instagram login?

No. It reads public Instagram data; nothing runs on your account.

Can my AI agent call it?

Yes, over MCP: the agent finds instagram.location.get, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
