Likes, comments, plays, and reshares of Instagram posts over time, as SOLARI recorded them. Pick posts directly, or trace an account's newest posts.

Notes

  • Pass posts (post_ids, slugs, urls) or an account (account_id or username), not both.
  • since and until filter the recorded values. posted_since and posted_until pick which of the account's posts to trace.
  • Posts are re-collected mostly in their first days, so older posts have few points and gaps are normal.
  • likes_hidden=true does not mean like_count is missing. It is usually still there, so keep those posts in comparisons.
  • This reads the catalog only. For a missing post, call solari fetch instagram post url=… first. Recording starts from then; past values cannot be filled in.
