Instagram Post Lookup (by Post URL)

omnial/instagram-fetch-post-by-url

Given a public Instagram post URL, returns the caption, like and comment counts, publish timestamp, attached media type(s), and the posting account's own username and display name. Returns an empty object `{}` when the URL doesn't resolve to an existing post. The underlying media file link itself is withheld -- only whether each attached item is an image or video is returned.

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.

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.
