Q: What is the Instagram Private API?
A: The Instagram Private API refers to the set of internal endpoints used by the mobile app. It allows developers to perform actions like posting, liking, following, and messaging directly from code by imitating official app requests.
Q: How does it differ from the official Instagram Graph API?
A: The Graph API is a public, rate-limited interface designed for business accounts, offering safe but restricted access. The Private API, on the other hand, is unofficial and provides full user-level control over the platform but risks account bans if abused.
Q: Is it officially supported by Instagram?
A: No. The Private API is not officially supported or documented by Instagram. It’s used for research, testing, and automation purposes and may break if Instagram changes its internal endpoints.
