Instagram User Tagged Posts
Retrieve the public Instagram posts a user is tagged in, with pagination support. Accepts either the username (resolved to the numeric user id internally) or the numeric user id directly. Returns post details including media URLs, captions, and engagement metrics. Note: Instagram returns only the post author's numeric id on this endpoint — resolve author details with the /user/basic endpoint. A completed lookup costs one credit, including a definitive not-found result, because every lookup uses costly dedicated Instagram proxies.
