Get Instagram DM attachment
Input
threadId requiredInstagram DM thread id (thread_id from instagram.com/get_inbox).
maxBytes optionalRefuse to base64-encode anything larger than this. Default 8000000 (8 MB) — videos can be far bigger, and the URL is still returned so it can be fetched directly.
messageId optionalMessage/item id to download. Omit to take the most recent message in the thread that carries media.
Output
itemType requiredInstagram's item_type, e.g. media, clip, voice_media, animated_media, media_share.
mediaUrl requiredthreadId requiredmessageId requiredsize optionalByte size of the downloaded media.
base64 optionalMedia bytes, base64-encoded. Null when the media exceeded maxBytes — mediaUrl is still usable.
filename optionalmimeType optionalpickedLatest optionalTrue when no messageId was given and the newest media item was used.
skippedEncoding optionalTrue when the bytes were not encoded because they exceeded maxBytes.
instagram.comDelete 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.
instagram.comGet Instagram post comments
Fetch the preview comments of an Instagram post or reel by shortcode, plus its caption and counts. Returns code, url, caption, comments (text, user, verified, created_at, like_count, reply_count), like_count, view_count, comment_count, and comments_disabled. Only returns the comments Instagram renders by default, not the full thread, capped to count.
instagram.comSend Instagram DM
Send a DM to an Instagram user by their username: plain text, an image attachment, or both together. Takes the image as base64 so it runs from any client. Returns ids/timestamps for whichever parts were sent, and the recipient-side restriction banner if one is shown right after sending.
