[ FAQ ]

Instagram Post Likers API questions

Can I export every account that liked a post?

Instagram limits the liker accounts it makes available. This endpoint returns that visible list; the list can be shorter than the post’s like count and has no pagination.

How do I use the Instagram Post Likers API?

Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/instagram/post-likers with shortcode in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.instagram.getPostLikers(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the instagram_post_likers tool.

How much does the Instagram Post Likers API cost?

Costs 1 credit per request. Credits cost $2.00 per 1,000 on pay-as-you-go and as low as $1.00 per 1,000 at volume. New accounts on a business email start with 100 free credits, and failed requests are never charged.
