Use this when you need ScrapeCreators Instagram data from GET /v2/instagram/user/posts for Posts. Returns a paginated feed of a user's public Instagram posts, including photos, videos, and carousels. Each item includes media type, shortcode, caption text, like count, comment count, play count, video URLs, image URLs, and tagged users. Play counts reflect Instagram-only views and exclude cross-posted Facebook views. Supports cursor-based pagination via next_max_id for scrolling through the full timeline. Returns the ScrapeCreators response in the standard MCP envelope with ok/data/error/meta. This is read-only. Requires the portal grant header and a ScrapeCreators BYOK API key.
