API Instagram - Best practices

In order to use the API it is necessary to call an endpoint URL with its private access token and its Worker id. You can generate the URL of your call in our Visual API Tester (you must access https://dashboard.trawlingweb.com/workers).

Data Integrity

Each API request can return a maximum of 100 messages matching your query. However, there may be many more results that match your filter parameters. To consume all the data, you must continue making calls to the URL indicated in the parameter next of the output of each request.

Outcome example

requestLeft	9999999
totalResults	295404987
next	"http://instagram.trawlingweb.com/posts/1234567891234567891234567891234567.123456789?token=1234567891234567891234567891234567891234&ts=1555327617000&tsi=1554076800000"
}

Pagination

When making requests to the POST methods, they return a maximum of 100 results. A url of next is enabled to continue with the obtaining if they surpass this amount.
