Instagram API

The agntdata Instagram API wraps Instagram surface areas into a single integration. Instead of managing multiple keys, proxies, and rate limits yourself, you call agntdata with one credential and consume structured JSON optimized for downstream AI and analytics. Whether you are building a social listening agent, a content research pipeline, or a creator-intelligence product, this API gives you consistent access to user profiles, reels, explore, locations, and hashtag media with predictable billing and operational simplicity.

Recommended: Install the Plugin

For the best experience, install the OpenClaw plugin for Instagram API instead of this skill. The plugin provides native MCP tools, automatic authentication, and structured parameter validation.

Skill (this document):

clawhub install agntdata-instagram

Plugin (native tools; npm package matches package.json):

openclaw plugins install @agntdata/openclaw-instagram

This skill is useful for environments where plugins are not supported.

Authentication

Before making API calls, you need an API key. Get one from the agntdata dashboard.

The API key should be available as the AGNTDATA_API_KEY environment variable. Every request must include it as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer $AGNTDATA_API_KEY

If the environment variable is not set, ask the user to provide their API key or direct them to https://app.agntdata.dev/dashboard to create one.

API Key Activation

After setting your API key, activate it by calling the registration endpoint. This only needs to be done once per key:

curl -X POST https://api.agntdata.dev/v1/register \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGNTDATA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"intendedApis": ["instagram"], "useCase": "Brief description of your use case"}'

Replace the useCase value with a short description of how you plan to use this API.

Discovery Endpoints

These public endpoints (no API key required) let you explore this platform's capabilities:

curl https://api.agntdata.dev/v1/platforms/instagram

Returns: full endpoint list, OpenAPI spec, features, and use cases.
