Instagram Collections API
A profile's playlists, boards or story highlights. This supported crawlfeed endpoint returns Collection[] in the shared data and meta response envelope.
Request
Send an authorized GET request to this route. The values in the examples are starting points; replace them with the public Instagram item or query you want to read.
Parameters
| Name | Use | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| handle | Required | Username without the @, or the profile URL. |
| cursor | Optional | Continue from a previous page. |
| fresh | Optional | Skip the cache. Costs double. |
You can also pass include_raw=true to include the source payload. Read response format details.
Copy a working request
Set CRAWLFEED_KEY to your API key. The collections operation costs 1 credit at the standard rate; fresh=true skips cache and doubles the cost.
curl -G https://api.crawlfeed.dev/v1/instagram/collections \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CRAWLFEED_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "handle=natgeo"Read more than one page
This operation can return a page of results with meta.next_cursor. If that field is present, send it as cursor in a follow-up request. Each page is a separate billable call. See the pagination guide for the full loop.
What happens next?
Use the normalized Collection[] value from data in your application, and inspect meta for credits, source and pagination. The type reference lists fields. Public data availability can vary by item and platform.
