Instagram Monitoring API: posts
1322 offers real-time Instagram monitoring for posts, stories, reels and carousel posts on a tracked list, including context badges such as Collab, Paid partnership, Pinned and Location when present. The monitoring layer runs independently of Meta's official account-owner APIs, so no Instagram developer credentials are needed. Published base plans include Discord delivery; a source-specific WebSocket is available as an add-on.
