About this API
Ensembledata is a multi-platform social media data API where Instagram is one of eight supported platforms (alongside TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Reddit, X, Twitch, Snapchat). Billing uses a unit-based model — each endpoint declares its unit cost in the docs. The free trial offers 50 units/day with no credit card; paid usage starts at the Wood plan ($100/month for 1,500 units/day). Instagram endpoints include: hashtag posts, user info, user posts, reels, post info, comments, music. Official SDKs for Python and JavaScript are open-sourced on GitHub. Good fit for applications that need data across multiple social platforms using a single token and SDK — BI dashboards, influencer monitoring, cross-platform sentiment analysis.

FAQ
How is Ensembledata billed?+
Unit-based. Each endpoint consumes a specific number of units, with the monthly quota set by your plan. Wood plan is $100/month for 1,500 units/day; the free trial provides 50 units/day.
Why is Wood plan more expensive than HikerAPI?+
Ensembledata covers eight platforms; HikerAPI is Instagram-only. If you only need IG, HikerAPI pay-per-request is more flexible. If you need TikTok + YouTube + IG together, the single-token single-SDK Ensembledata model is cheaper.
Are SDKs available?+
Yes — official Python and JavaScript SDKs, open-sourced on GitHub.
