How much does the Instagram Post Likes (V3) API cost?

$0.01 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 Post Likes (V3) API accept?

Required: code (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

What does the Instagram Post Likes (V3) API return?
