Unsend an Instagram DM
Input
threadId requiredThe conversation's id, as returned by the inbox listing.
text optionalText of the message to take back, matched against messages you sent. Omit to take back the most recent message you sent in the conversation.
Output
unsent requiredTrue when a message was actually removed.
threadId requiredaccount_used requiredHandle of the account whose message was taken back, read from the page rather than assumed.
already_absent requiredTrue when no message of yours matched, so nothing was touched.
verified_on_page requiredTrue when the conversation was re-read from Instagram afterwards and the message was genuinely gone.
messageId optionalInstagram's own id for the removed message, as the conversation reports it. Note this is a different identifier from the one returned when a message is sent — the two are not interchangeable.
messageText optionalText of the message that was removed.
remainingCount optionalHow many messages the conversation holds after the removal, as Instagram reports it.
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.
