Subscribe (free Basic plan: 30 req/month): https://rapidapi.com/liucccccccccccc/api/instagram-cheapest\n2. Set the `rapidapiKey` collection variable to your RapidAPI key.\n3. Send any request — all endpoints are GET and return raw Instagram JSON.\n\nPagination: list endpoints return ~12 items per page. user_media uses `next_max_id`; user_reels / user_tag_media / media_comments use `after`; reels_audio uses `max_id`. Omit the cursor on the first call, then pass the cursor from the previous response. Tutorial: https://instagram.kolapihub.com/blog/instagram-api-pagination/\n\nOptional `fields` param on every endpoint trims the JSON response (e.g. fields=username,full_name,follower_count).\n\nCompliance: public Instagram data only; you are responsible for complying with Instagram's terms and applicable privacy law.
