Instagram Scraper API guides

Find Every Instagram Post That Tags Your Brand (UGC Discovery API)

Collect the user-generated content creators have tagged a brand in, then pull the full-resolution photos and videos for the posts you want - the backbone of UGC campaigns, ambassador tracking and repost workflows.

When customers love a product they tag the brand - and those posts land on the brand's Tagged tab, not its own grid. /v1/profile/tagged turns that tab into a JSON feed you can monitor, so no piece of UGC slips past your social team.

Get your API key on RapidAPI

1. Pull the Tagged tab

Pass the brand's profile and a count. Each result is a full post object: URL, caption, timestamp, like and comment counts, media type and thumbnail. These posts belong to the creators who tagged the brand, not to the brand itself.

2. Get the creator and full-resolution media

For the posts worth featuring, /v1/post/media returns the direct CDN URL of every photo and video (one entry per carousel slide) plus the creator's username - everything you need to reach out and ask permission to repost.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find Instagram posts that tag my brand?

Call /v1/profile/tagged with your brand's username. It returns the posts on the brand's Tagged tab - the content other accounts tagged it in.

Can I download the full-resolution photos and videos?

Yes. /v1/post/media returns direct CDN URLs for every photo and video in a post, one entry per carousel slide.

Can I repost the UGC I find?

Only with the creator's permission. The API gives you the creator's username so you can ask.
