# List Instagram tagged posts (https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/instagram/profiles/userid/tagged-posts/get)

## Summary

List Instagram posts a user is tagged in, by user id.

**Tags:** `Instagram`

## HTTP

- **Method:** GET
- **Path:** `/v1/instagram/profiles/{userId}/tagged-posts`
- **Base URL:** `https://api.socialfetch.dev`

## Capability summary

- **SDK mapping:** `client.instagram.getProfileTaggedPosts({ userId, cursor? })`
- **Accepted identifiers:** `userId` (path)
- **Pagination:** cursor via `cursor`, next cursor: `data.page.nextCursor`, has more: `data.page.hasMore`
- **Business outcome field:** `data.lookupStatus` with values `found`, `private`, `not_found`

## Agent notes

- **Disambiguation:** This is the Tagged tab for a numeric Instagram user id, not the profile grid. Use GET /v1/instagram/profiles/{handle}/posts for the owner's own feed. Resolve a handle to a user id with GET /v1/instagram/profiles/{handle} or GET /v1/instagram/profiles/{userId}/basic.
- **Empty results:** lookupStatus found with an empty posts array means this page of the Tagged tab has no public posts.

## Credits

- 1 credit base. With `hostMedia`, +2 credits per hosted asset (up to 24 assets, 49 credits max).

## Authentication

- **`x-api-key`**: API key (`sfk_...`)

## Parameters

### `userId` (path)

- **Required:** yes
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1; maxLength: 32; pattern: `^\d+$`
- **Description:** Instagram numeric user id whose tagged posts should be listed.

### `cursor` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1
- **Description:** Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response.

### `hostMedia` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `boolean`
- **Description:** When true, hosts source media for 90 days and returns delivery URLs in each post's `hostedMedia`.

## Behavior notes

- **`userId`**: Instagram numeric user id whose tagged posts should be listed.

## Pagination

This endpoint uses **cursor-based pagination** via the `cursor` query parameter.

- Read **hasMore** from `data.page.hasMore`.
- When that value is `true`, read **nextCursor** from `data.page.nextCursor` and pass it as the `cursor` query parameter on the **next** request (URL-encode when building a query string).
- Omit `cursor` on the **first** request.
- Stop when **hasMore** is `false` or **nextCursor** is null (end of list).

## Responses (status codes)

- **200**: Instagram tagged-tab posts for the requested user.
- **400**: Invalid user id, cursor, or bad request
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key
- **402**: Insufficient credits
- **500**: Unexpected or billing error
- **502**: Lookup could not be completed from the response (unexpected or invalid data).
- **503**: Service temporarily unavailable; safe to retry with backoff.

## Response body (200)

Instagram tagged-tab posts for the requested user.

### Field outline

- **data** (required) — type `object`. Endpoint-specific response payload.
  - **lookupStatus** (required) — type `string`; enum: found, private, not_found. Whether tagged posts could be listed for this user id. `found` includes empty tabs. Distinct `private` / `not_found` only when the provider signals those; unknown ids often look like `found` with `posts: []`.
  - **posts** (required) — type `array`. Instagram posts the requested user is tagged in.
    - _items:_
      - **id** (required) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Instagram media id for this item (vendor-defined composite id).
      - **shortcode** (required) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Public shortcode used in the Instagram post URL.
      - **mediaType** (required) — type `string`; enum: image, video, sidecar, unknown. Normalized media type.
      - **caption** (required) — type `string`; nullable. Caption text when Instagram provides one.
      - **url** (required) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Canonical public Instagram URL for this media.
      - **displayUrl** (optional) — type `string`. Source-platform CDN URL for the primary display image when available. It can expire or be rejected outside the original retrieval context; it is not a SocialFetch-hosted asset. Omitted when no syntactically usable URL is available.
      - **thumbnailUrl** (optional) — type `string`. Source-platform CDN URL for the thumbnail or cover image when available. It can expire or be rejected outside the original retrieval context; it is not a SocialFetch-hosted asset.
      - **videoUrl** (optional) — type `string`. Source-platform CDN URL for the video when this item is a video and a usable URL is available. It can expire or be rejected outside the original retrieval context; it is not a SocialFetch-hosted asset. For durable hosted copies on this list route, pass `hostMedia=true`. For a single known post URL, `GET /v1/instagram/posts?downloadMedia=true` returns provider-hosted URLs in `downloads`.
      - **likeCount** (optional) — type `integer`; minimum: 0. Like count when Instagram exposes it.
      - **commentCount** (optional) — type `integer`; minimum: 0. Comment count when Instagram exposes it.
      - **playCount** (optional) — type `integer`; minimum: 0. Play or view count for video content when Instagram exposes it (Instagram-only views when distinguishable).
      - **dimensions** (optional) — type `object`. Width and height when available.
        - **width** (required) — type `integer`; minimum: 0. Media width in pixels.
        - **height** (required) — type `integer`; minimum: 0. Media height in pixels.
      - **taggedUsers** (optional) — type `array`. Users tagged in the media when Instagram exposes them.
        - _items:_
          - **handle** (required) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Tagged Instagram username without a leading @.
          - **platformUserId** (optional) — type `string`. Instagram numeric user id for the tagged account when present.
      - **hostedMedia** (optional) — type `array`. Present only when `hostMedia=true`. Hosted copies and/or per-asset failures for this post.
        - _items:_
          - **status** (required) — type `string`; enum: stored, failed. Whether SocialFetch stored a durable copy of this asset.
          - **type** (required) — type `string`; enum: image, video. Normalized media kind.
          - **role** (optional) — type `string`; enum: display, thumbnail, video. Which source field this asset was derived from.
          - **originalUrl** (optional) — type `string`. Source-platform CDN URL that was requested for hosting. Still transient; prefer `url` when status is stored.
          - **url** (optional) — type `string`. Time-limited SocialFetch delivery URL when status is stored. Re-request hostMedia (or a future refresh route) before this expires if you still need access; object retention may outlive the delivery URL.
          - **expiresAt** (optional) — type `string`. ISO-8601 timestamp when the returned delivery URL stops working.
          - **retainedUntil** (optional) — type `string`. ISO-8601 timestamp when the stored object is deleted from SocialFetch storage (90-day tier).
          - **mime** (optional) — type `string`; minLength: 1. MIME type of the stored bytes when status is stored.
          - **bytes** (optional) — type `integer`; minimum: 0. Stored size in bytes when status is stored.

          - **entityId** (optional) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Opaque parent entity id for this asset (post, reel, photo, or video id).
          - **postId** (optional) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Legacy Instagram media id alias for `entityId`. Prefer `entityId`.
          - **errorCode** (optional) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Typed failure code when status is failed.
          - **errorMessage** (optional) — type `string`; minLength: 1. Short customer-safe failure message when status is failed.
      - **createdAt** (required) — type `string`; nullable. When the media was taken or posted (ISO-8601). Uses Instagram's timestamp when the Tagged tab includes one; otherwise derived from the media id. Null only when neither is available.
      - **owner** (required) — type `object`; nullable. Post author when Instagram exposes them.
        - **handle** (required) — type `string`; nullable. Instagram username of the post author, without a leading @.
        - **platformUserId** (required) — type `string`; nullable. Instagram numeric user id of the post author.

  - **version** (required) — type `string`; enum: v1. Public API version that served the response.
  - **cached** (optional) — type `boolean`. True when served from shared response cache. Credits still apply (full endpoint price); Age header may be present.

### Example JSON (empty)

```json
{
  "data": {
    "lookupStatus": "found",
    "posts": [],
    "page": {
      "hasMore": false,
      "nextCursor": null
    }
  },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "req_6e58ec36-99df-44a2-9f0d-36261e18041c",
    "creditsCharged": 1,
    "version": "v1"
  }
}
```

### Machine-readable error codes

When an error JSON body is returned, it may include one of these `error.code` values (derived from the OpenAPI schemas for this operation; additional codes may exist at runtime):

- `bad_request`

## Error handling & retries

Interpret HTTP status codes using the descriptions below. Do not assume a JSON body unless the OpenAPI schema defines one for that status.

- **400**: Invalid user id, cursor, or bad request **Retry:** Fix the request; retrying the same invalid payload will not help.
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key **Retry:** Fix the API key first; retrying without changes will not help.
- **402**: Insufficient credits **Retry:** Do not retry without resolving billing/credits (retrying the same request will not help).
- **500**: Unexpected or billing error
- **502**: Lookup could not be completed from the response (unexpected or invalid data). **Retry:** May be transient; a few retries with backoff are reasonable.
- **503**: Service temporarily unavailable; safe to retry with backoff. **Retry:** Usually safe to retry with exponential backoff and jitter.

### Suggested client defaults

- Send the API key using the `x-api-key` header on every request.
- On `503` (and sometimes `502`), retry with backoff; cap retries and surface a clear error to the user.
- On `402`, surface an actionable billing message rather than blind retries.

## Examples

### TypeScript SDK

```typescript
import { SocialFetchClient } from "@socialfetch/sdk";

const client = new SocialFetchClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SOCIALFETCH_API_KEY!,
});

const result = await client.instagram.getProfileTaggedPosts({
  userId: "325734299",
});

if (!result.ok) {
  console.error(result.error);
} else {
  console.log(result.value.data);
}
```

### Node.js

```javascript
const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/instagram/profiles/325734299/tagged-posts",
  {
    headers: {
      "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
```

### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/instagram/profiles/325734299/tagged-posts" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Python

```python
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/instagram/profiles/325734299/tagged-posts",
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()
print(data)
```

### Example: next page (pagination)

After a successful response, if pagination is not finished, request the next page using `cursor` (URL-encode when composing the query string):

```javascript
const previous = await response.json();
const nextCursor = previous?.data?.page?.nextCursor;
const hasMore = previous?.data?.page?.hasMore;
if (!hasMore || nextCursor == null) {
  // no more pages
} else {
  const nextUrl = new URL("https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/instagram/profiles/abc123/tagged-posts");
  nextUrl.searchParams.set("cursor", nextCursor);
  // optionally preserve sort: nextUrl.searchParams.set("sortBy", "latest");
  const nextResponse = await fetch(nextUrl.toString(), {
    headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
  });
  const nextData = await nextResponse.json();
}
```
