Frequently asked questions
How much does Instagram place search cost?
Prices start at $0.0037 per record, depending on the offer that serves the request. You are only charged for records actually returned.
Which offers serve instagram/place.search?
apify/apify — 1 offer is available behind the same endpoint. Pin one with the optional "provider" field, or omit it and the router picks with automatic failover. The response's "served_by" field names the offer that ran.
What input does it need?
The "queries" field of the JSON body, as an array of strings: A place, city or venue name. For example: paris
Is the output format the same for every offer?
Yes. Every offer returns the normalized record schema documented on this page; some add extra platform-specific fields on top, but the documented fields are always present.
How many queries can I send per request?
Up to 1 queries in a single request, depending on the offer.
What happens if an offer fails?
SocialRouter automatically fails over to the next offer serving the same service, so a single upstream outage doesn't break your integration.
