one endpoint, one keyQuickstart
One request. Structured JSON back.
POST the scraper slug and your parameters to a single endpoint, authorized with your API key. No proxies to rotate, no browser to run — the response is parsed and ready to use.
curl -X POST https://app.serpproxies.com/api/v1/scrape \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"slug":"instagram-post","params":{}}'Reference
Request parameters
Get Instagram Post Details accepts 2 parameters. Pass them in the "params" object of your request body.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | text | Optional | URL |
| shortcode | text | Optional | Shortcode |
API reference
Auth, rate limits and errors.
One key, one endpoint and a predictable response envelope — the same contract applies to every scraper.
Authentication
Send your API key as an "Authorization: Bearer <key>" header, or as "x-api-key: <key>". Create and rotate keys in the dashboard — one key works across all 179 scrapers.
Rate limits
Up to 120 requests per minute per key; exceed it and the API returns 429. For large jobs, reach out and we'll raise your limit. Your balance is drawn only on a successful scrape.
| Status | Meaning | When |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | OK | success: true, with the parsed result in data. |
| 400 | Bad request | Missing slug or a required input parameter. |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Missing or invalid API key. |
| 402 | Payment required | Insufficient balance — top up to continue. Not charged. |
| 404 | Not found | The slug doesn't match a scraper. |
| 429 | Too many requests | Over 120 requests/minute for this key. |
| 502 / 503 | Scrape failed / unavailable | Upstream problem — you're not charged. |
| 500 | Server error | Unexpected error — you're not charged. |
Error envelope
{
"success": false,
"data": null,
"error": "Insufficient balance"
}Every response uses the same shape — success, data and error — so you branch on one field.

vs the official API
Instagram's official APIs are gated and shrinking.
Why teams reach for the Instagram scraper instead of an official API.
The official API
Meta deprecated the Instagram Basic Display API and limits the Graph API to business and creator accounts behind app review — it won't return arbitrary public profiles or posts. Reading the public web is the only route left.
SerpProxies
- Sign up and call it in minutes — no application, partner status or approval.
- The full public page, parsed into a stable, documented JSON shape.
- Flat $0.60 per 1,000 requests, pay-as-you-go; failed requests are free.
- We run the proxies, browsers and anti-bot handling — nothing to maintain.
Pricing
Simple, usage-based pricing.
One flat rate across all 179 scrapers, drawn from your prepaid balance as you go. No tiers to decode, no overage traps — top up and start pulling data.
- Only successful requests are billed
- No subscription or seat fees
- Balance never expires
- Every scraper, one flat rate
Why SerpProxies
A data API, not a reseller.
01
We run the network
Every scraper runs on proxies and browsers we own and operate. There's no reseller markup and no separate proxy bill — the request price is the whole price, and it already includes the anti-bot work.
02
Pay per successful request
Flat pricing at $0.60 per 1,000 requests, billed from your balance as you go. Failed requests aren't charged, nothing expires, and there's no monthly minimum or seat licensing to reason about.
03
Structured JSON, not HTML
Each endpoint returns a stable, documented shape — parsed, typed and consistent — so you build against a schema instead of babysitting brittle CSS selectors that break on every redesign.
04
One API, one key
179 scrapers share a single endpoint, a single auth key and a single balance. Learn it once and every source — from Google to TikTok to Booking.com — works the same way.
