Questions

FAQ

How do I use the Instagram User Following API?

Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/instagram/v2/user-following with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.

How much does the Instagram User Following API cost?

$0.003 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.

What parameters does the Instagram User Following API accept?

No parameters are required. Optional: pagination_token (string), user_id (string) and username (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

What does the Instagram User Following API return?

A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).

Do I need a Instagram developer account or API key?

No. Instagram User Following runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Instagram API access separately.
