Instagram Post Lookup (by Post ID)

omnial/instagram-fetch-post-by-id

Given an Instagram post's numeric ID, returns that post's caption, media dimensions and image variants, like/comment counts, ad/partnership disclosure flags, and the posting account's public username, display name, and verification/follower status. An invalid or nonexistent post ID returns an empty result rather than an error.

Pricing

Every real charge, itemised. A model that quietly omits one is a slow financial leak, so nothing here is rolled up, and a charge that only applies to some inputs says so rather than being added in.

Prices in this catalog are the provider's own list price, not your bill: Omnial MCP charges provider cost plus a platform markup on top, so what you are charged is higher than the figure shown. For the exact amount a specific call will cost, run omnial_execute with dry_run: true; that number includes the markup and is what we hold while the call runs. It is a quote, not a cap on the charge.

Not recorded

This tool's catalog entry does not record how its final bill is determined, so we will not tell you whether its cost is fixed before the call or reported by the provider afterwards. Either way what is held is a quote rather than a cap: you are charged what the call actually costs, bounded at 2x the quote.
