FAQ

Can I request one exact Story?

Yes. A link with a Story ID returns only that item; a profile Story link returns the account's active Stories.

What about expired Stories?

Stories disappear after 24 hours; expired ones cannot be returned. Use the Highlights service for saved collections.

Do failed requests cost credits?

No. Credits are reserved while a request runs and refunded in full when it fails or finds no media. You only pay for items that come back.

What counts as one result?

Each media item the API returns: one video, one photo, or one carousel slide. A Reel is usually one result; a ten-photo carousel is ten. Instagram Stories, Highlights and Telegram cost 2 credits per result; every other service costs 1.
