Delete Instagram post

Delete one of your own Instagram posts or reels by shortcode. Opens the post, drives More options then Delete and the confirmation, and then reloads the post's link to prove it is really gone before reporting success. Returns the shortcode, the media id when Instagram exposes it, and whether the post was verified as removed. Fails clearly when the shortcode is not available to you (already deleted, private, or another account's) and when the post is still live after the confirmation.

Input

shortcode required

Shortcode of the post to delete (the code in instagram.com/p/<code>/). Must be a post you own.

Output

shortcode required
did_delete required
pk optional

Media pk, when the delete request's URL carries one.

verified_gone optional

True when the post's permalink was reloaded after the delete and no longer renders a post.
