GET/v1/instagram/posts

Get recent posts

Returns a public account's most recent posts — image, video/reel and carousel — each with its permalink, caption, like and comment counts, media and thumbnail URLs, dimensions and publish time. Shares the profile snapshot, so a posts call right after a profile call is served from cache. Pagination is cursor-based; today the source serves the latest window, so next_cursor is null.
