} Likes, comments and view counts for an Instagram post or reel. Takes a public post URL via ?url= and returns the { data, request_id } envelope . Each call costs 1 credit per post returned — check the X-Credits-Charged and X-Credits-Remaining response headers. Cached responses cost the same and set x-cache: hit; add fresh=true to bypass the cache.
