## Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | string | yes | Full Instagram post or reel URL, carrying the media shortcode: /p/, /reel/, /reels/, or /tv/. A profile URL such as https://www.instagram.com/username names no post, so it is rejected instead of charged for an empty result. |
| `requirePlayCount` | boolean | no | Set true to be served only by a source that reports a reel's play count. The default cheapest source does not carry play counts, so \`plays\` is absent from its responses; opting in guarantees the field when Instagram exposes it, at a higher price per request. |

## Call it

```bash
curl -sS https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/anyapi.instagram-post-detail/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORCAROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":{"url":"<url>"}}'
```

```python
import os, requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/anyapi.instagram-post-detail/run",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['ORCAROUTER_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"input":{"url":"<url>"}},
)
print(resp.json())
```
