Scrape Creators API / Post/Reel Info

Fetches detailed metadata for a single Instagram post or reel by shortcode or URL. Returns caption text, like count, comment count, video URL, video play count, video duration, display images, owner info, tagged users, carousel sidecar children when applicable, and the published time in data.xdt_shortcode_media.created_at as an ISO 8601 UTC date. The original Unix timestamp remains available in data.xdt_shortcode_media.taken_at_timestamp. Play counts are Instagram-only views and exclude cross-posted Facebook views. Set include_play_count=false to omit the play count and skip its additional fetch for a faster response.
