Get Instagram insights
Returns account-level Instagram insights such as reach, views, accounts engaged, and total interactions. These metrics reflect the entire account's performance across all content surfaces (feed, stories, explore, profile), and are fundamentally different from post-level metrics. Data may be delayed up to 48 hours. Max 90 days, defaults to last 30 days. Requires the Analytics add-on.

Query Parameters
The Zernio SocialAccount ID for the Instagram account
Comma-separated list of metrics. Defaults to "reach,views,accounts_engaged,total_interactions". Valid metrics: reach, views, accounts_engaged, total_interactions, comments, likes, saves, shares, replies, reposts, follows_and_unfollows, profile_links_taps. Note: only "reach" supports metricType=time_series. All other metrics (including follows_and_unfollows) are total_value only. This is an Instagram Graph API limitation, not a Zernio limitation - the IG API does not return time-series data for these metrics. For a daily running follower count, use /v1/analytics/instagram/follower-history instead.
Start date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to 30 days ago.
dateEnd date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today.
date"total_value" (default) returns aggregated totals and supports breakdowns. "time_series" returns daily values but only works with the "reach" metric.
"total_value"Value in
- "time_series"
- "total_value"
Breakdown dimension (only valid with metricType=total_value). Valid values depend on the metric: media_product_type, follow_type, follower_type, contact_button_type.

Returns follower count history and growth metrics for connected accounts. Requires analytics add-on subscription. Follower counts are refreshed once per day.
Get Instagram follower history
Returns a daily running Instagram follower count time series, served from Zernio's cross-platform daily snapshotter. Exists because Meta removed follower_count from the /insights endpoint in Graph API v22+ and never exposed a historical daily series via any public API. Response envelope matches /v1/analytics/instagram/account-insights so the same client handling works. Max 89 days, defaults to last 30 days. Requires the Analytics add-on.
